What do people say about the Kidtrepreneur initiative : “Fostering entrepreneurial values at an early age is empowering youth to develop skills that will serve them well in the future. When a first experience can be a positive one, such as what is offered through the Kidtreperneur Business Fair, it begins to create a foundation of confidence that they can build upon. When learning is fun and supportive it is lasting.” – Richelle Brown Redden, Economic Development Officer
Frequently asked questions
What is the Kidtrepreneur Business Fair?
The Kidtrepreneur Business Fair is a one-day market that gives children the opportunity to showcase their very own businesses.
How many businesses will you accept?
We will accept up to 10 businesses.
Where should I begin?
Start with our resources page. Read inspiring stories about other young entrepreneurs and play games to hone your business skills.
How do I apply? Can I apply as part of a group?
Application must be submitted online. Please submit one application for each business. Children working as a group should submit one application that includes each child’s information. No more than 3 participants per business.
What is on the application?
The application asks kids to think through some simple, but important elements of their business: Please do not be concerned if you are not able to answer all the questions....Send in your application with as much information as you can. We are currently woking on a new application form for next year!
- What product or service do you plan to sell?
- What price will you charge for each product/service? How much will each product/service cost you?
- At the end of the fair, how will you determine if your business was a success?
What if someone else has the same business idea?
Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do. We will endeavour to have one business creator per product.
How will the fair be set up?
The fair will be an outdoor event with tables and chairs provided. Each business will be given an 8-foot table (to share with one other business), 1-2 chairs. Table cloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.
Will electricity be available?
Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity.
What are the rules?
This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service.
Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.
Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.

How did the Kidtrepreneur Business Fair get started?
Spinazola & Associates President, Madonna Spinazola, Founder of the Annual Kidtrepreneur Business Fair wanted to give young people a chance to "launch" their own business to help with the ever rising costs of education. As well as an opportunity to have fun doing whatever they love to do while earning profits.
