In your Town

What's a Fair Trade Town and how does yours become one?

Towns/cities must work to complete six defined goals as per Fairtrade Canada's Fair Trade Towns campaign, they are:

  • The local council uses Fair Trade Certified products and supports the Fair Trade Towns campaign.
  • Stores & restaurants serve Fair Trade Certified products.
  • Workplaces, faith groups, & schools use and promote Fair Trade Certified products.
  • Public awareness events and media coverage held on Fair Trade and the campaign.
  • A steering group created for continued commitment.
  • Other ethical and sustainable initiatives promoted within the community.
