The holiday season is almost here, and that means one of our favourite events of the year is just around the corner – the Canadian Military Family Marketplace & Chat Holiday Virtual Market!
We’ve been proud to participate in this virtual market since the very first one, and we’re thrilled to be back again this holiday season. It’s such a special event because it’s more than just shopping – it’s a way for military family makers from across Canada to connect, share their talents, and support each other.
What Makes This Market Special
This is a completely free event for vendors and shoppers. The amazing volunteer admins at Canadian Military Family Marketplace & Chat donate their time to organize, promote, and run the market – no vendor fees, no admission fees, and no cut of sales. It’s all about supporting military families and showcasing the incredible creativity within our community.
The market features a wide variety of handmade, homegrown, and heartfelt creations, making it the perfect place to find unique and meaningful gifts for everyone on your holiday list.
Another reason to join in? Vendors often run exclusive giveaways during the market! Humble Dog will be giving away a custom patch to a lucky winner – it’s our way of saying thank you and spreading some extra holiday cheer.
Why We Love Being Part of It
For us at Humble Dog, the market is an opportunity to connect with people who truly value shopping small and supporting Canadian military families. We get to share our passion for high-quality service dog gear, embroidered patches, training accessories, and fun dog-themed gifts, all while being part of a warm and supportive community.
Plus, it’s not just about sales – it’s about showing up, engaging with other vendors, and celebrating the incredible talent of military family makers from coast to coast.
How You Can Join the Fun
When the market launches, it will take place entirely online in the Canadian Military Family Marketplace & Chat Facebook group. You’ll be able to browse posts from each vendor, ask questions, place orders, and discover amazing products you might never find anywhere else.
