African Peace Festival

In August 2008, Sarah (a volunteer who soon became our Part-time Sales Associate) and I attended the African Peace Festival.

We brought all kinds of neat trinkets to the Roundhouse in Yale Town, Vancouver.

On display here you can see a Calabash Beaded Rattle, some Cheetah-styled Bracelets from Kenya as well as a terrific Putamayo CD called "Women of Africa".

Canada Day on Granville Island!!!

This year the Broadway Store was privileged enough to be invited to celebrate Canada Day on Granville Island at the Indian Mela Festival.

On the right, as our Japanese intern Seiko and I were promoting Fair Trade Awareness to the public Varia (in the back) was taking care of the business transactions.



Being successful at off-site sales takes a lot of team work and enthusiasm.

It was an excellent opportunity to speak with Vancouver locals about the importance of choosing wisely when shopping by supporting Fair Trade.

What better way to celebrate Canada Day?
