Students Plead For Fair Trade Designation

Grade Six students at Ogden School want Thunder Bay to become a Fair Trade City.  They say they were disturbed by the recent garment factory tragedy in Bangladesh and they did some homework on the issue.  They discovered that the movement started in the United Kingdom.  Under a fair trade strategy the city would agree to only do business with countries that treat their workers fairly.  City administration will be writing a report on the proposal.
