The Regional Association of West Quebecers has recognized Rupert resident Anne Winship for her role in creating Quebec’s first fair trade municipality. Winship will receive the Community Service in Education award at the RAWQ banquet, to be held Oct. 22 in Aylmer. She led the campaign to see the Municipality of La Peche recognized as Quebec’s first Fair Trade Town in November 2007, and has worked to preserve the designation and continue to educate the population on what it means. A Fair Trade Town encourages access to Fair Trade Certified products and raises public awareness about sustainable consumption. Winship has helped organize Wakefield’s Fair Trade Fair in the spring as well as anniversaries in November to mark the fair trade recognition. “I’m really happy to get this award, because it’s another chance to help educate about fair trade,” Winship said. The RAWQ awards honour outstanding volunteer contributions within the English-speaking community in the Outaouais. RAWQ is a not-for-profit organization that develops policy, conducts research and advocates on behalf of West Quebec’s Englishspeaking population.
