Calgary Aiming to Become Canada’s next Fair Trade Town
With your help, and the support of local consumers, businesses, and community groups, Calgary will have the proud distinction of being Canada’s next Fair Trade Town! Officially the campaign is called Fair Trade Calgary +, the “+” represents inclusion of local and direct-trade products that meet fair trade principles. More details about the campaign will be explained at the event and can be found on Fair Trade Calgary’s website at www.fairtradecalgary.com , Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
We would be pleased to have you join us as we work together to make a global impact through local ethical purchasing choices.
About Fair Trade Calgary
Fair Trade Calgary is a local non-for-profit group under Engineers Without Borders, Calgary. Our mandate is to encourage and promote the availability and purchase of Fair Trade products in Calgary. Fair trade empowers marginalized producers to improve their living conditions. With the proper resources, capacity, and access to key relationships, disadvantaged producers can earn their own means to a better life for themselves and their communities. Fair trade principles include a fair price paid for the product, ethical working conditions, environmental sustainability, long-term business relationships with producers, and a portion of fair trade premiums going to support community initiatives.
