Free Trade in Nakusp

An idea that came to life at a Nakusp Secondary School Sustainability Club Meeting, is now a reality. Nakusp has now been designated as the first Fair Trade Town in BC.  The quest to become a Fair Trade Community began 6 month ago and was accomplished by NSS Student Alyshia Gustofson.
Gustofson says once everyone was informed and on board, she had to send an application to register for fair trade status. She added that now that they have received the status one of the requirements to form a steering group focused on making sure the town stays committed the the project and to create new initiatives in the community.
