On May 12-14 over 1.5 million people will be showing solidarity with farmers and producers around the globe by celebrating the benefits of fair trade and recognizing the positive impact ethical purchasing has on people throughout the supply chain.
Join the celebration by checking out the following activities:

ERA Bistro proudly serves an wide variety of Fairtrade products year-round. Stop by on World Fair Trade Day to join the World’s Biggest Fair Trade Celebration by enjoying a cup of Winnipeg’s Finest, a Fairtrade coffee blend roasted for the exquisite tastes of Winnipeggers, or a cup of Manitoba Bold if you prefer a darker roast.
Tea lovers can refresh with Numi Fairtrade teas as either a classic hot beverage or a signature iced tea.
You can also treat your tastebuds to a special World Fair Trade Day menu. Try the spicy red lentil sloppy joe, seasoned with Fairtrade ginger and chilies or, if you’re craving something sweeter, enjoy a slice of Fairtrade dark chocolate sponge cake topped with Manitoba cherry ice cream. It pairs beautifully with a glass of Fairtrade Certified Juno Wine!

The Fair Trade Winnipeg committee will be set up with tons of information, buttons, stickers and other fair trade goodies for anyone who is willing to lend an ear and learn a bit more about fair trade.
