Yesterday's 3rd Annual Ottawa Children's Market was AWESOME. And we have many people to thank for the Market's success...
Our sponsors and volunteers, Merivale Vision Care White Pine Books The Pines Rides KOTi 28, a HUGE thank you -- without you, the Market could not have run so smoothly;
MacKay United Church www.mackayunited.ca, for having us;
To the young entrepreneurs who shared their talents and passions, you showed us the value of a growth mindset and inspired us;
To our entrepreneurs' parents and guardians, this isn't an easy journey but we thank you for taking it with us;
And to YOU, the community, for showing up and supporting our vendors -- you played a pivotal role in this event. Children who came in nervous and unsure left feeling confident and proud.
And this is ultimately what we're all about: creating the environment and supporting the relationships that allow kids to flourish; to find their passions, their confidence, and eventually, their purpose. The Ottawa Children's Market is a proof-of-concept of the power of hands-on, experiential, real-world learning -- it is truly life-changing.
