Fairtrade Fortnight 27th February – 12th March

The Annual Fairtrade Fortnight will be celebrated this year between the 27th of February and to 12th of March. The launch of the Fairtrade fortnight is taking place in the Esquires Coffee on the 27th of February at 10 am. This event is by invitation only.
The Fairtrade parade through Carrick on Shannon streets takes place on the 7th of March at 11 am, starting from the corner of Kelly’s Food store. Everyone is welcome.
Traders are advised to look at your products and do their best to make Fairtrade stock more visible and varied on your shelves.
Fairtrade Schools use your creativity to mark the fortnight e.g. design some posters and bring them along to the parade and perhaps get permission to display some of them in the town.
Leitrim County Council Environment Department and The Chamber of commerce advertise the fortnight in local papers, and in parish community newsletters creating an awareness of our desire as a town to keep our Fairtrade status as awarded in 2011.
