From YYC Market Girls to Biz Collective
An Initiative by Aces and Oak
Building community has always been at the heart of what we do. As we've grown, so has our mission. We've transitioned from YYC Market Girls to Biz Collective YYC to reflect our evolution into a comprehensive platform dedicated to supporting all small businesses and fostering genuine connections within our local community.
Our Story: From Markets to a Collective
