Nothing is agreed by email. We may write back with questions, and we talk before anything is decided.

- Products we plan to carry. Your products fit one of the types above.
- A Health Canada licence where one is required. Tampons, cups and discs sold in Canada must be licensed by Health Canada. Please include the licence numbers in your email.
- Your own claims. You write your own product descriptions and you are responsible for the claims in them. They need to be true and meet Canadian rules.
- Shipping to customers in Canada. Periodica does not hold stock. When a customer orders, you ship the order to them directly.
Products go on the shelves only when the shop opens.

Get involved
Who it is for
People 18 or older who would like to hear when there is a way to take part.
What it could look like
Nothing is open yet. Tell us what interests you, and we will email you if something opens in that area. Registering interest does not commit you, or us, to anything.
- Reader panel. Now and then, we may ask for your opinion on a page or an idea, in a short survey. Answering is always optional. There are no hours, deadlines or ongoing duties.
- Paid freelance work. When we need paid help, such as French translation or sensitivity reading, we will describe the work and the pay when we post it.
- Community programs with partner non-profits. If we support a program run by a partner non-profit, the non-profit runs it, and any volunteering is with that non-profit, for its program.
You need to be 18 or older to register interest.
