The launch of the National Human Trafficking Education Centre brings us one step closer to ending human trafficking in Canada. Education is our greatest weapon against human trafficking.
Your support is more important than ever as we begin this next chapter in our journey to provide educational resources to youth, parents, first responders, educators, community leaders and those working in the justice system.
Through education, prevention and intervention, we can end human trafficking in Canada. Survivors can heal. Families can be reunited. Justice can be served.
Every donation will bring us one step closer to our goal of ending human trafficking. Every single dollar makes a difference. No amount is too small. All gifts over $20 will receive a tax receipt.
Or mail a cheque made payable to The Joy Smith Foundation Inc. to:
The Joy Smith Foundation 1800-201 Portage Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3B 3K6

I've been asked to share my thoughts on why we have chosen to become regular contributors to the Joy Smith Foundation. It is simply because they work tirelessly for the cause of rescuing and protecting every man, woman and child from human trafficking. The 2021 Best Countries Report has recently named Canada as the most livable country in the world. I know that the blessing of safety, peace and joy that I have had in living in this amazing country has not been the experience of so many who have been enslaved by the atrocity of human trafficking. The work the Foundation is doing, especially in the area of education, is reason enough to lend support to the cause and help to open all our eyes to the truth, to protect potential and existing victims, and to help inspire and mobilize citizens to help in any way we can.
