Celebrate People and Planet with Every Purchase

Each October, we celebrate Fairtrade Month — a time to recognize the farmers, workers, and communities behind the products we enjoy every day. By choosing Fairtrade, Canadians are standing up for fair wages, decent working conditions, and a more sustainable future. Whether you're new to Fairtrade or already part of the movement, there are so many ways to get involved.
