A great way to support Fair Trade is buying Fairtrade Certified (FTC) Products. Almost 7,000 products from coffee to flowers are Fairtrade certified in Canada, so when you shop, look for the FAIRTRADE Mark. Some YEG businesses that carry Fairtrade certified products are listed below. For a more comprehensive selection of Fairtrade certified products, visit Fairtrade Canada or The Canadian Fair Trade Network.
Below is a list of local spots that may have one or more fair trade products (i.e. Fairtrade certified, Rainforest Alliance or another fair trade certification).
If you would like to add your business to our list, please send a request here: FT Listing Request. If any changes need to be made to this list, please email us at info@fairtradeedmonton.ca.
