A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE IN KELOWNA

Get Involved

More than a market. A community that keeps growing.

Inclusive Market Kelowna was created through the collaboration of professionals who work alongside people with diverse abilities at different organizations across Kelowna.

What began as a community market is growing into an ongoing initiative that showcases local talent and builds connections that last.

Our goal is simple: connect entrepreneurs, businesses, and community members to showcase products and services, encourage local purchasing, and create new opportunities for collaboration.

OUR PURPOSE
