Build a Biz Kids, Port Coquitlam, BC (2025)

11/15/2025

When kids are given the space, tools, and support to dream big — they don’t just build businesses. They build character. 💙

Meet Taiga, one of our longest-standing BizKids. He started with a simple lemonade stand back in 2018, launched his first market booth that same year, and now runs Home Sweets Home — a thriving slushy and bubble tea business.

But what’s even more inspiring?
Taiga’s younger brother and sister have followed in his footsteps, and together, they donate a portion of their revenue to charity.

“You have to really be willing to work through the good and the bad days. It’s all about that consistency that’s going to give you the success you want.”

This is what happens when kids are empowered to take action — they don’t just create products, they create impact. 🌎

📅 Saturday, Nov 29, 2025 | 11am–6pm
📍 The City of Lougheed Mall — between the Santa display & kids’ play area (below the food court)

👉 Come see Taiga and 50+ other KidPreneurs changing the world, one business at a time.

🪄 Matthew: From 10-Year-Old Maker to Entrepreneur & BizKids Ambassador

Meet Matthew, one of our earliest BizKids — and proof that when kids are trusted with real responsibility, they rise to it. 🙌

At just 10 years old, he launched Matthew’s Magical Marvels, handcrafting and selling his own wands at the BizKids Market.

Fast-forward to today — he’s a BizKids Ambassador, featured in our educational video “What is Market Research” that’s now part of every KidPreneur program running across Canada. 💡

He’s still running his business, hiring friends to help produce his wands, and even selling them in local stores!

That’s what happens when kids get the tools, support, and belief to bring their ideas to life.

If you want your child to gain the same real-world confidence and independence, this is where it starts:

🧠The Mental Health Crisis
The Crisis in Numbers:
📊 1 in 4 youth experience mental health challenges by adolescence.
💰 $50 billion/year — the cost of mental illness in Canada.

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they’re a warning.
Our children are struggling earlier, and the systems built to support them are stretched too thin to keep up.

At BizKids, we’re tackling this crisis before it begins — by equipping children with confidence, resilience, and self-worth through real-world, hands-on learning.
Because prevention works — and when kids see their own potential, everything changes.

We’re now seeking 10 visionary partners to help us scale this nationwide, ensuring every child can grow up strong, capable, and mentally well.

🚀 “Real Change Requires Going Big.”

Our mission is clear — to create real change, we can’t go small.

We’re reaching children in communities across Canada with programs that build confidence, resilience, and essential life skills — before mental-health struggles take hold.
Because prevention works. And kids deserve access no matter their postal code.

But we’re not stopping here.
🌍 Our next milestone: 1 million children by 2030.

We already have the model, the momentum, and the measurable impact — now we’re inviting visionary partners to help us scale it.

💡 The question isn’t if we’ll get there.
The question is: how big of a part do you want to play in making it happen?

💬 “How Did You Come Up With That Business Name?”

Ask a BizKid how they named their business — and you’ll get a story every time. ❤️

Some choose names that make people laugh.
Others pick something that means the world to them.
Even if we don’t always get it — they do.

Because behind every clever, quirky, or heartfelt business name is a child who’s thought deeply about what they’re creating and why it matters.

That’s what happens when kids get to build something that’s truly their own.
They don’t just learn — they become entrepreneurs, creators, and problem-solvers.

Help your child discover that same pride and purpose with the Launch Your Business at-home program 👇
