Indigenous Women’s Pop-Up Market Draws Steady Long-Weekend Foot Traffic In Moncton – Huddle.Today
“We wanted to travel around the province and this was our next stop,” said Natasha Martin-Mitchell, development officer for indigenous women entrepreneurs.
Martin-Mitchell said the first event was held at the Fredericton Inn in March.
She said another pop-up shop is planned for Bathurst in September–and another in Edmundston, in December.
The pop-up shop events are an in-person extension of Nujintuisga’tijig E’pijig, a sales platform initiative for products made by Indigenous women, launched by Women in Business New Brunswick.
Martin-Mitchell expressed relief to finally be able to start hosting in-person events again, coming off a long couple of years of pandemic-related restrictions.
