At a ceremony in Halifax on February 25, ۲ݮƵ was named Fair Trade Campus of the Year by Fairtrade Canada, making us No. 1 among the 21 designated fair trade campuses across Canada. The award was granted by an independent panel of judges to the campus with the strongest commitment to fair trade.
“This award says that ۲ݮƵ is a leader in sustainability in Canada. As the fair trade movement continues to grow, especially at Canadian universities, ۲ݮƵ is happy to support and guide other institutions to make this smart, informed and ethical commitment to fair trade purchasing,” says John Lindsay, Food and Dining Sustainability Coordinator. “While we’re reading about doom and gloom for environmental sustainability in the news, ۲ݮƵ practitioners are actively making the world a better place through their fair trade commitment. It encourages the ۲ݮƵ community to do more to support the fair trade movement.”
