Join us for Fair Trade Campus Week September 21st – 25th
Did you know that RRC is working to become the 10th Fair Trade Campus in Canada?
On September 22nd and 23rd staff and students are invited to find out about our journey, what partners we have in place, and what Fair Trade products you can find on campus.
