Vancouver Whitecaps go go go!
Hey Rebecca,
How was the game? What a great idea! I wanted to pass along that Cadbury Dairy Milk is now Fair Trade Certified in Canada.
Next soccer match celebrate with a Fair Trade Certified chocolate bar!
Plus ALL Canadians, you have a chance to win a trip to Ghana to see firsthand what life is like in a fair trade cocoa farm and community. Follow our Fair Trade activity on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/CadburyDairyMilkCanada and Twitter @dairymilkcanada.
Thanks,
Michelle
