What is it?
A spring/winter vendor market, with the goal of extending The Locals' mission: helping you shop as local as possible. We are always open to opportunities for local makers and businesses to come together in places where supporters can find them. So this is a vendor market, with local businesses selling a variety of products. It's a free event and open to the public.
Who can apply?
We are accepting applications from registered Canadian businesses, including makers and product-based businesses. That being said, we are open to ideas that are outside the box as long as it makes sense for an indoor market!
Are there any general requirements to apply?
Vendors should lend to the branding of the event, so we prefer accepting vendors who have taken time to invest in things like their logo, marketing materials, and social media presence.
All food items must be made in a health authority-approved kitchen and have proper permits.
This event is family friendly. What that means varies per family, but we generally want all to feel accepted and welcome. Vendors’ setups and products should reflect that.
Be kind!
Can out of province vendors apply?
Yes! As long as you are a registered Canadian business, you can apply.
What is/is not provided for vendors?
We are providing a 6 foot table, along with a chair and electrical access.
We are also mass marketing this event! Along with the in-house marketing of the hospital, we do our best to make your name known that you're part of the event, along with many other vendors.
We provide vendors with a digital graphics package to make it easy to announce to their own communities about the event.
Outside of that, we leave it up to you! We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
What will setup and tear down look like?
We expect vendors to show up at least 1 hour prior to the event to set up. Loading can occur right in front of the hospital, after which you will have to look after parking you vehicle for the day. When the market is over for the day, vendors can do the same to tear down. We will have staff on site to ensure things are done orderly and mindful of others.
Can I leave my items overnight?
YES, at your own risk, though! Doors close to the public at 8pm, with security and cameras present overnight. However, security is not staffed to watch over vendors' tables. We recommendation to leave all display items but take inventory home with you overnight. And if you are leaving items, make sure to have it covered.
