Fairtrade Canada

Fairtrade in Canada dates back to 1994. Here are some of the most important milestones. 1988 The first Fairtrade Label, Max Havelaar, is established.  The launch of Max Havelaar label was an important development of the fair trade movement because it introduced certified products to consumers in a significant and meaningful way. While fair trade products existed before, they were only sold in small specialty shops. Max Havelaar introduced fair trade to mainstream consumers. 1994 Fair Trademark Canada, now known as Fairtrade Canada, is founded as a volunteer-based organization.  The first certified products available in Canada are coffee, tea, chocolate and sugar. 1997 Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) is founded in Bonn, Germany.  The convergence of labelling initiatives in Europe results in the creation of Fairtrade Labelling Organizations, now known as Fairtrade International .  1998 Fair Trademark Canada hires its first employee. 2000 📷 Fair Trademark Canada is renamed to TransFair Canada. The World’s first Fair Trade Town, Garstang in the UK, is recognized.  Since 2000, over 1,800 communities from around the world have committ.
