May is Fairtrade Month, and Fairtrade Canada is making sure that there are lots of ways for you to get involved!
FTOÉ va participer au Mois équitable au moyen des hashtags #MoisFairtrade et #FairtradeMonth et des évènements équitables. Vous aussi pouvez participer au mouvement canadien pour une plus grande sensibilisation à propos du commerce équitable. Suivez-nous sur Facebook, Twitter, Instagram et YouTube pour des mises à jour sur les produits et initiatives équitables.
