Manitoba's First Ever Carrotmob
Constance Popp Chocolates, 1853 Portage Avenue
March 9, 11:00 am until 4:00 pm

Join Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC) as we enjoy speakers, music, ethical chocolate and making a difference! 

Trade Manitoba is facilitating Winnipeg’s first ever Fair Trade Carrotmob, a combination of positive reinforcement with the energy of the mob genre. It encourages a business that is already making good and ethical choices by giving it a group shopping spree. That business, in return, will sign a pledge making a commitment to further ethical improvements to their store.

There have been over 200 Carrotmobs in over 20 countries and all of them are bringing pressing social issues to light. The visibility of fair trade fits into the Carrotmob model as they are both about voting with your money. Every time a consumer makes the decision to spend their dollars toward an ethical and sustainable business or product, they have voted with their support.
