Fair Trade Fortnight (May 1-15 2013) in Manitoba
Posted April 30th 2013
Fair Trade Fortnight is May 1 – 15, 2013. This is when everyone gets together to do fun activities in support of Fair Trade, from big public events, to special promotions in stores, to quiet efforts at home.
This year, Fair Trade Canada is launching a Karma Campaign (the idea is to promote doing good things, including using fair trade). So Fair Trade Manitoba will be offering a “karmic” opportunity for six businesses that support fair trade and who carry Camino products. Do good things and fair trade happens!

Fair Trade FAQs
How do I know that a product is really a fair trade product?
The term “fair trade” is not copyrighted or regulated in Canada, so any company can use it to describe their products. So as they say, “consumer, beware.”
