A new market just opened in Calgary’s downtown core, bringing with it a cost-friendly option for shoppers.
Good Neighbour Community Market is being touted as a “pay what you want” thrift store, run completely by volunteers.
Good Neighbour is a new project from Tigerstedt Flea, a pop-up market in Calgary that also helps connect those who want to volunteer with opportunities at local organizations.
