Fair Trade Campus Week is taking place from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 1. To recognize and celebrate Humber's status as a Fair Trade Campus, the Office of Sustainability is running multiple events throughout the week. 

Fair Trade is a movement and a network of non-profit organizations that endeavors to improve the livelihoods of agricultural producers in developing countries by ensuring that producers receive a fair price for their products. This year, we are talking about living wage.

Small-scale farmers and workers need to earn enough income for a decent standard of living, so they can do the things we do like take their kids to school, eat healthy meals, afford decent housing and save for retirement.

Check out this video to learn more about Fairtrade and the attached calendar for a full list of events.
