WHAT'S NEW?
We are back! While we closed our Fair Trade shop on Main Street when we moved our Travel Agency home as a consequence of COVID-19, we are now launching online. Beginning with the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce Marketplace, we will once again be offering all the great Fair Trade and sustainable products you came to love. We thank you for your past support and are excited to bring sustainable alternatives to our community. Global A.P.E. was born in Airdrie in 2006, opening our retail shop in 2009, and now in 2021 becoming virtual. Along with our participation in the Airdrie Chamber Marketplace, we will be launching a dedicated online shop in the near future. It's more important than ever that we make purposeful choices with our purchases. Every time you make a purchase, you are deciding whether to preserve the environment, whether a family is able to eat or send their children to school, whether that child is bound by slave labour, or free to pursue an education. One must realize the power of their purchasing choices, indeed, every time you make a purchase, you choose to support (or not) the well-being of others and the environment. #Airdriechambermarket
We have been honoured by the community in Airdrie over the years. We were a finalist in our first year of having a retail shop (2009) for the Eco-Edge Award. The next year (2010) we were one again nominated and we humbled when we won the Eco Edge Award. In 2012, the community recognized our continued efforts towards sustainability and education and we were honoured to have won the Eco Edge Award again that year, as well as being a Finalist in the Family Friendly category. In 2015, Global A.P.E. was extremely fortunate in becoming a Finalist in the Eco Edge category. We are grateful to the community for continually supporting our efforts to enhance sustainability in Airdrie.
