UBC Named First Fair Trade Campus in Canada

To top off its status as Canada’s first “fair trade town,” Vancouver is now home to the nation’s first “fair trade campus” as well.

UBC gained accreditation as Canada's first fair trade campus by meeting Fairtrade Canada's requirements for ethically sourced product availability, visibility, and promotion in the university.
