Highland Park Elementary in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, is inviting local small businesses to join its annual May Market on May 8, 2026. The event, organized by the school’s Parent Advisory Council, serves as a community gathering and a fundraiser to support student programs and activities.
Organizers are currently looking for a variety of participants, including those selling food, handmade crafts, and professional services. The market provides a space for local entrepreneurs to showcase their work to the neighbourhood while helping the school raise money for classroom resources and school upgrades.
According to information shared with the Pitt Meadows Businesses and Community group, interested vendors can secure a spot by contacting the parent group through their official social media channels. The school is part of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District and hosts these types of events to build stronger ties between families and the local community.
By bringing together local makers and residents, the school leadership and the parent council hope to create a lively atmosphere for the May 8 event. Similar markets in the area have historically attracted vendors from throughout the region to support local education and small business growth.
