We listened, we built, and now we need your feedback on the first draft of the Code of Conduct for Human Trafficking Prevention in the Niagara Region. This vital initiative, developed by TOES Niagara and Brock University in collaboration with the community and funded by Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) Canada, sets proactive standards for the hospitality, tourism, and other priority sectors in Niagara. The goal? To prevent human trafficking and protect vulnerable populations.
Why Your Voice Matters
Creating a safer Niagara is a collaborative effort. This draft Code of Conduct reflects extensive research, consultations, and community input—but there is still work to do. We’re inviting you to join us in ensuring this framework is effective, inclusive, and actionable. Your feedback will play a critical role in shaping a Code of Conduct that truly reflects our collective commitment to safety, dignity, and justice.
What to Expect
The feedback sessions will provide:
- An overview of the development process behind the draft Code.
- Insights into how the proposed standards address human trafficking prevention.
- A platform for community members to share their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions.
Together, we can build stronger protections and empower our community to make Niagara an inhospitable place for human trafficking.
