YYC FREE MARKET 

YYC Free Market is an experiment in giving and moving towards a more creative currency, without the need for money, and the endless making and throwing out of objects.

 

The guidelines are simple:

Give what you can

Take what you need

Leave no trace

​

Originally conceived as an experiment at the Springboard Performance containR site in Sunnyside, Calgary in August 2016. 2016 saw Calgary fall into a recession and see many people lose their jobs. The globalist world continues to be focused on the process of resource extraction that inevitably ends up being manufactured into something, purchased, used and then thrown away. Occupy Wall Street was also a big inspiration. ​

​

TRAction does not own the FREE MARKET. We enable and encourage others to create their own FREE MARKET. To support this, TRAction has created a guide that helps people produce their own. Please download the guide here.
