Second Annual Reverse Trick-or-Treating in Canada Free Kits

EXPIRES OCT 15TH 08'


This Halloween, it is young people who will be giving treats to adults!
Join us!

A pleasant surprise will greet nearly a quarter million people distributing candy at their door, when youth reverse the Halloween tradition to hand adults a sample of Fair Trade chocolate. The chocolate will be accompanied by a card informing recipients of poverty and child slavery in the cocoa industry, affecting mainstream candy enjoyed at Halloween and around the year, and how Fair Trade Certified chocolate provides a solution.
Want to get involved? There are a few ways you can:


Request a Reverse Trick-or-Treating Kit
Reverse Trick-or-Treating kits are now available! Each kit contains 20 pieces of Fair Trade Certified chocolate, 20 info cards and one Fair Trade cocoa info sheet. Contact Reykia Fick at reykia.fick@transfair.ca to order kits. Quantities are limited. DEADLINE to order -- October 15th
Print and distribute Fair Trade Halloween flyers on Halloween. Watch this space, coming soon...
Write to policy makers and the chocolate industry asking them to protect children in cocoa-farming communities. Fair Trade Certified products are available in stores across Canada. In choosing Fair Trade chocolate at Halloween, and every other day of the year, you are connecting with the farmers who grow and harvest your food. The guaranteed Fair Trade price paid for cocoa helps to provide farmers with a sustainable livelihood and creates hope for a better future for their children. In addition, Fair Trade certification prohibits the use of abusive child labour. Look for the TransFair Canada Mark on products when you shop.
Reverse Trick-or-Treating in Canada is a joint initiative of:
