A Big Welcome to our 2025-26 Board of Directors!

This wonderful group of volunteers helps keep the James Bay Market running smoothly behind the scenes — from early mornings to late emails and everything in between.

Most of our Board members are also busy makers, bakers, and small business owners, so we’re extra grateful for the time and care they give to our market.

So, let’s all be sure to thank them for stepping up and supporting our community. We’re so grateful for their time, energy, and love for the JBM!

See you all on Saturday, May 2nd, for another fabulous season!!
