Fair Trade Fortnight - Show Off Your Label!

What is Fair Trade Fortnight?

It's only the best time of the year for anyone who loves Fair Trade and wants to spread it like wildfire throughout Canada! It's when everyone gets together to do fun stuff in support of Fair Trade, from big public events, to special promotions in stores, to quiet efforts at home.

So, because (a) Fair Trade is awesome, and (b) Canada has a brand new (and far prettier) Fairtrade certification mark, we issued a challenge to all Canadians... "we want YOU to get loud and proud about Fair Trade and "Show Off Your Label!" from May 1-15."

How you did that was entirely up to you, but provided some ideas to get you going:

  1. Host a Fair Trade Breakfast for friends & family? (psst... free prizes!)
  2. Show off your creative side with our photo contest? (look cool and win big!)
  3. Pretty up the place with free Fair Trade promotional materials and Fortnight resources? (who doesn't love free stuff?)

Whatever you did, you had to have fun doing it! Also, many of you were good enough to let us know what you got up to by...

  • Posting it on our Facebook wall
  • Tweeting us through Twitter (@FairtradeCanada)
  • Or just shooting us an email at communicationsatfairtrade [dot] ca

In case you needed a splash of inspiration, the UK put together this video for their Fortnight. It'll blow your mind! (FYI: ignore their dates and contact info at the end)

 

Big shout out to the Ontario Natural Food Co-op and Carrot Cache for their generous support of the 2011 Fortnight!
