Welcome to the SCIC Fair Trade Project
As Canadians become more aware of their power as consumers they are choosing
to make a clear statement with the products they buy. By purchasing Fair
Trade, and Locally Produced goods Canadians are showing their support
for their communities and for farming families around the world.
We at SCIC want to help by providing a comprehensive directory that will
link Saskatchewan consumers with local businesses that promote Fair Trade,
Organic and Local products.
Find retailers near you!
If your business sells or produces Fair Trade, Local or Organic products
and would like to be part of our FREE Saskatchewan directory click
