Big Day of Little Entrepreneurs is an annual province-wide event that encourages young people aged 7 to 15 to create their own business or product. In Aylmer, the market took place in the parking lot of the Galeries Aylmer on June 7, where business-minded youth were set up to sell their products. Each vendor prepared for the market weeks in advance by designing and creating their goods and gathering supplies to set up their booth. Products ranged from seedlings, naked goods, and handmade bracelets to soaps, bath bombs, and crocheted plushies.
