Eco-friendly night market offers conscientious shopping in northeast Calgary
An eco-friendly night market took place Saturday at Renfrew Community Association in northeast Calgary
A night market with an ethical twist was held Saturday at Renfrew Community Association.
Change Makers Collective annual eco-friendly night market doubled in size in 2025, offering more than 40 curated and eco-vetted vendors, selling an array of vintage and upcycled clothes, handmade jewellery, ceramics, prints, small-batch skincare, aromatherapy, low-waste art, home goods and decor.
Event organizer Adriane Gerrard-Gauthier said every vendor is vetted before being accepted to the night market.
'They're either providing recycled or recyclable packaging, low packaging, no packaging, everything,' said Gerrard-Gauthier. '(There's) very little plastic, and there's very little waste from their production methods.
'People are kind of surprised, because it's everyday products. It's nothing quirky. I mean, we do have quirky, but it's not super niche stuff. It's everyday products, and just making a small effort can make a huge difference.'
