Every year, Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Canada provides us with an opportunity to educate ourselves about this issue. By raising awareness, we can work together to create real change in our communities. The Sault Ste. Marie Airport partnered with #NotInMyCity In November 2022 to educate and raise stakeholder and community awareness regarding human trafficking in aviation within Canada.
Since the beginning of the partnership, the Sault Ste. Marie Airport has implemented an e-learning and awareness program to provide all airport employees and stakeholders with knowledge and awareness about sexual exploitation and human trafficking in Canada with #NotInMyCity's aviation focused e-learning platform. Members of the public are invited to learn more about the issue by taking a free e-learning course found at notinmycity.ca.
The program also allows airport employees to understand the signs of human trafficking, and know what to do if they suspect trafficking as well as report any and all signs of human trafficking, without causing harm.
Together, we can prevent human trafficking and make a difference in the lives of children. #NotInMyCity offers an interactive e-learning course for anyone interested in learning more about the issue of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in Canada. It was developed in collaboration with national and international thought leaders. Upon completion of the free 30-minute e-course, participants are awarded with a certificate. Thousands of individuals have completed the course so far.
In Ontario, anyone can call Canada’s Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-833-900-1010 if you believe you are witnessing or are experiencing human trafficking or sexual exploitation. If anyone is in immediate danger, it is recommended to call 9-1-1.
