Every year, before Covid came to the world, CARA hosted a a very well attended flea market at the Eastside City Church in SE Calgary - 1320 Abbeydale Drive SE, Calgary.
People who have excess amateur radio equipment can rent a table for a nominal fee, and sell their wares at this very well attended market. 
In addition to the the flea sale, there is also a 50/50 draw, plus a raffle for one of more items donated by a local amateur radio equipment retailer.
Held in conjunction with CARA's annual Learning Conference, this event draws a large contingent of the southern Alberta amateur radio community.
