Ten Thousand Villages in Ottawa sells fairly traded products from around the world. Our two stores sell a wide variety of hand-made crafts, such as linens, jewellery, toys, ceramics, musical instruments, home decor and much more.

And don't miss our Fair Trade food section which includes coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tea, sugar, spices, jams, olive oil and chutneys. Check out our products page to learn more.

Our stores are the ideal location for meaningful gifts for any occasion - birthdays, weddings, graduations - and a gift registry is available. In the fall you'll also find an unmatched selection of Christmas ornaments and other seasonal decorations. We can also create gift baskets for personal or corporate giving.

Fair Trade items purchased at Ten Thousand Villages allow artisans in developing countries to provide food, healthcare, education and housing for their families.

The two stores are operated by Ottawa Alternative Trade Corporation - a not-for-profit organization - and we rely on volunteers for many of our retail positions. Your purchase makes a difference.
