Meet Our Trade Community

How We Work

So you have beautiful products made by skilled artisans, but don’t have the resources to get them in the hands of customers?

Fairly Traded is here to help!

We offer two impactful ways for vendors to get involved in a community of mindful consumers who are eager to support local entrepreneurs and global artisans. See below for more information.

Ways to Collaborate

The Virtual Market

The Virtual Market is a week-long virtual event showcasing fair trade vendors from across Canada. This is hosted four times a year and a great introduction for consumers to get exclusive access to brands ethically sourcing their products.

Participation includes: Instagram Lives, discounts, promotion on social media and a feature on our website!
