The CFTN and McGill University are proud to host Canada’s Third-Annual Fair Trade Conference. The three-day event will create opportunities for new partnerships that further the impact of fair trade.
We’ve achieved much in our first three years, but are just scratching the surface. This year’s conference will build on existing relationships to launch a new level of collaboration and cooperation among business and advocacy networks. The conference is presented in collaboration with our partners in Québec, the Association québécoise du commerce équitable & Équiterre.
This year, producer representatives will share their perspectives on the extraordinary work being done in Canada and around the world in support of fair trade. By working together we can achieve real change.
