Ethical Market Comes to McCauley
Just One World features unique holiday gifts that support social justice.
The annual event formerly known as Just Christmas has rebranded. Just One World gives people shopping for holiday presents the opportunity to find a variety of Fair Trade and direct trade items from different countries and organizations. Profits go towards social justice organizations and the artists themselves.
“A number of different social justice organizations participate from countries all over the world,” says Heather Mackenzie, a vendor and former event coordinator. “Ultimately, we wanted an event that was reflective of the diversity of the participants.”
The new mission statement of Just One World reflects its intention of diversity: to create an opportunity for social justice organizations to raise awareness and funds within a global marketplace.
In addition to the new name, the event has new dates: Saturday, November 12 (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) and Sunday, November 13 (10 a.m. – 3 p.m.). Finally, there is a new location: the Ital-Canadian Seniors Association at 9111 110 Avenue.
Admission is by donation.
