The annual Forum provides a space for networking, sharing information, tools and strategies to better meet the needs of trafficked persons and those in potential trafficking situations in Canada. The Forum also identifies and analyzes policy concerns as advocacy to protect the rights of trafficked persons. The Forum seeks to increase public awareness of trafficking.
The full day meeting on 3 December takes place directly after the CCR Fall Consultation in Niagara Falls where there will be a trafficking workshop on 1 December, among other activities.
