Applications – James Bay Community Market

Interested in selling at the James Bay Community Market? Are you a non-profit with a message?

Due to the BCCDC (BC Centre for Disease Control) regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic the James Bay Community Market’s footprint and operation have changed. Social distancing results in fewer vendor spots and “event” activities such as live music and our children’s craft tent cannot occur.

The 2022 market will operate every Saturday, from May 7th to Sept 24th 2022 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Products sold at the market must be homemade, handmade, or homegrown and are juried to ensure that these guidelines are met.

Policy Manual

The rules and regulations for all vendors can be found in the James Bay Market Society Policy Manual. Whether you are a farmer, food producer, crafter, artisan, non-profit or service provider, please read the Policy Manual.

Application Forms

All vendors must become members of the James Bay Market Society to sell at the market. Those who regularly assist vendors must become associate member.

James Bay Community Market Musician & Performer Application forms

We are sorry but due to our limited footprint during COVID-19 we are unable to provide entertainment this season.

Non-Profit Organizations and Community Groups:

At this time ware aren’t sure about the social distancing regulations for 2022 so there may be limited spaces available for non-profit or community groups this year. This space may be used to display and sell pertinent literature, sell memberships, give demonstrations, or sell raffle tickets only with an approved permit from the BC Gaming Commission. A non-profit organization or Community Group that wishes to sell products must apply as a regular vendor.
