Hi everyone,

I just wanted to inform all of you that the Vancouver City Council has approved the fair Trade Town motion, and Vancouver is now the first major fair Trade City in Canada.

The application was sent in by fair Trade Vancouver, a not-for-profit organization seeking to increase awareness about fair Trade. on the application, EWB Vancouver, UBC and SFU's efforts were carefully documented.

For more information please refer to Transfair Canada's website:
