From music and dancing, to laughter, fun and honouring the craft/trades of our local/global community, to hands-on sharing and exploration: during International Fair Trade Week this event was in celebration of the wealth of goodness our community has to offer. There was lots of food, music, practitioners and mini-sessions, vendors, demonstrations, presentations, workshops, and door prizes. We hope to make this an annual tradition.
This event also marked the launch of our Community Dish Lending Library!

Due to popular demand, we had 2 workshops on "ALTERNATE WAYS TO PRESERVE THE FALL BOUNTY"
Along with the bake sale, we had our new jute, fair trade co-op-made,bags for sale to put yer veggies in (see "initiatives" for details) as well as fair trade organic brown and red rice to put yer veggies on!

Wakefield celebrated its second birthday as a fair trade village with food, a craft fair, a fashion show and live music. vendors included MacMillan Farms, Le Coprin Mushrooms, Berg en Dal Honey, Urban Forest Soaps Life Without Plastic, and the United Church. The Premier of the official fair trade song was also performed by students and adults who sang it live to the smooth sound of horns and drums.
