Mountain Girl Crafts, Tie Dye Towels and Woodwork with Grandpa are just a few of the online stores that have been created by students at Big White Community School.

The Big White Community School’s Young Entrepreneurs program is usually an in-person affair each year, but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented that from happening this year. Instead, the students have taken their entrepreneurial ideas to the internet, which allows for even more potential shoppers.

Normally the students, whose grades range from kindergarten to Grade 9, spend the year creating their business idea and then sell their products during a one-day spree.

There are 29 online stores selling their wares. The Young Entrepreneurs website went live on Monday and will remain open until March 17.
