Fair Trade Programs enable you to be active in your community while making a difference in the lives of farmers and workers around the world.
Through fair trade product availability and promotion of the movement, your Town, Campus, School, Workplace, Faith Group or Event can receive a designation celebrating your commitment to trade justice. We provide the tools and resources you need to add your Program to the hundreds of existing designations across Canada.

Our Partners
Canada’s Fair Trade Programs are managed by Fairtrade Canada. They were developed in partnership with the Canadian Fair Trade Network. The CFTN works with people, advocates, businesses, and public institutions and governments to ensure those decisions have positive impacts on the world. Buying fair trade products is a way to ensure that farmers and workers are compensated fairly, treated with respect, and can produce their products in an environmentally sustainable way.
