February 22nd marks Ontario’s first Human Trafficking Awareness Day

Ending human exploitation is the goal as Ontario marks its first Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

Recognized every February 22th, the day hopes to shed light on the effects of the illegal trade that lures and recruits young people for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labour.

Parry Sound-Muskoka MPP Norm Miller says it’s easy to think that we’re sheltered from such activity by living in a small town.

The Ontario Provincial Police is reporting more and more victims are being lured from small towns with promises of love and a better life.

The OPP is launching a poster campaign to help raise public awareness of human trafficking.

For information on how to recognize signs of luring and exploitation visit the OPP website.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
