Fair Trade Organization Holds Annual Cranbrook Sale
Cranbrook, BC – On September 16 and 17, volunteers will invest in the lives of artisans around the world by selling exquisite hand-crafted gifts and home décor.
The Ten Thousand Villages Fair Trade Gift Sale, to be held a Knox Presbyterian Church – 2100 3rd Street South in Cranbrook – offers an opportunity for citizens in the East Kootenay to invest in their world by shopping fair trade.
