Shopping, supporting local while raising money for charity

The Spring Arts Market was an opportunity for local businesses to showcase their work and raise money for the Jean Augustine Centre For Young Women's Empowerment Foundation.

Humber Polytechnic hosted its second annual Spring Arts Market to raise money for charity and promote local businesses. 

The community event had 22 vendors selling their handmade products to shoppers who visited the market during the last weekend of March at Humber Lakeshore campus.

It was an opportunity for many business owners to highlight their work, share it within the community, and get exposure in the marketing world.
