Kicking Horse Coffee couple honoured By Alex Cooper Pioneer Staff Elana Rosenfeld and Leo Johnson, founders of Kicking Horse Coffee, have been named among the top five Canadians to watch by World Vision Canada. The two were honoured by the international aid organization for their dedication to fair trade coffee. They purchase their coffee beans only from producers that meet certain environmental and labour standards set up to improve the conditions workers in the developing countries.
“It’s an honour,” said Ms. Rosenfeld. “It’s great to be recognized for it.” Elana and Leo founded Kicking Horse Coffee in 1996. Ms. They became one of the first coffee producers in Canada to deal in fair trade coffee in 1998 and pushed their suppliers to deal only fair trade certified producers. Last year they took their sales to 100 percent fair trade certified coffee. “It’s exciting to see how the movement has developed,” said Ms. Rosenfeld. “It’s picking up in Canada. Big companies are buying fair trade now and most people know what it is.”
