Ten
Thousand Villages in Ottawa sells fairly traded products from around
the world.
Our
two stores sell a wide variety of hand-made crafts, such
as linens, jewellery, toys, ceramics, musical instruments, home
decor and much more.
And don't miss our Fair Trade food section which includes
coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tea, sugar, spices, jams, olive oil and
chutneys. Check out our products page
to learn more.
Our
stores are the ideal location for meaningful gifts for any occasion
- birthdays, weddings, graduations - and a gift registry is available.
In the fall you'll also find an unmatched selection of Christmas
ornaments and other seasonal decorations. We can also create gift
baskets for personal or corporate giving.
Fair Trade items purchased at Ten Thousand Villages allow artisans
in developing countries to provide food, healthcare, education and
housing for their families.
The
two stores are operated by Ottawa Alternative Trade Corporation
- a not-for-profit organization - and we rely on volunteers for
many of our retail positions. Your
purchase makes a difference.
