Monday, September 21, 2026

2:00 - 3:00 PM EST

Human trafficking is often recognized as a $150 billion global crime, but most Canadians are unaware that it is taking place in communities across Canada. This presentation will help attendees move from myths to realities and provide an overview of how trafficking operates in the Canadian context, the economic drivers and root causes behind it, and its connection to legitimate financial systems. Gain an evidence-based understanding of trafficking trends in Canada, understand the human impact of exploitation, and our shared responsibility in recognizing and addressing this crime.
