Recap: k-days by ESP

K-Days 2023 brought so many special opportunities to AHC and its clients! 

AHC’s Entrepreneurship Supports Program collaborated with Explore Edmonton to showcase over 30 newcomer-owned small businesses which have been supported by the program in the past at the K-Days Pop-Up Marketplace. From July 21st to 23rd every passionate entrepreneur was able to represent their culture through the handcrafted goods and services. All weekend we were reminded that empowering newcomer entrepreneurs is not just about fostering economic growth, but also about embracing diversity, innovation, and fresh perspectives in the business landscape. 

In addition to this, Explore Edmonton kindly donated 40 K-Days tickets to AHC’s newcomer clients so families from across the world could have a day of fun, games, rides, and entertainment all while learning more about Albertan culture. Thank you so much to K-Days and Explore Edmonton for extending these opportunities to AHC and its people. We are all about breaking down barriers and ensuring a healthier community for all and we couldn’t do it without collaborations like this. Scroll down our photos to see some of the many special moments that were captured!
