Today we recognize National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and remember that no community is immune to this devastating crime.
In Canada, 90% of victims are Canadian citizens, and 25% of known victims are under 18. These aren't simply numbers – they represent real children and youth… who need our protection.
If you see something that doesn't seem right, trust your instincts. Your awareness and willingness to speak up can save lives.
Together, we can work to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
If you have a concern about a child at risk, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Phone: 519.271.5290 or 519.524.7356
Toll-Free: 1.800.668.5094
