“The Fireweed Community Market Society is an enduring cooperative community of people who wish to promote diverse and conscientious local production and consumption.”
The Fireweed Community Market Society has been operating in Whitehorse since 2005 on the land of Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and Kwanlin Dün First Nation. We acknowledge that many of our members are guests on this land, benefiting greatly from living and working within this Territory. It is with great gratitude that we honour the 14 First Nations who have resolutely protected this land for millennia and celebrate their unique histories, languages, and cultures which make our community so vibrant.
We promote the production and consumption of Yukon products. We offer authentic experiences to residents and tourists by supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses and directly connecting consumers with producers of quality goods that are locally grown, raised, wild-harvested, or hand-crafted -the Fireweed Community Market Society in Whitehorse
Since 2005, a volunteer board has guided the strategic and operational success of our non-profit society, with the support of part-time and seasonal staff, over 250 members and hundreds of volunteer hours. Long term funding from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program provides significant support.
