Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. As such, I am pleased to recognize Kelly Tallon Franklin, a human trafficking survivor, along with her team of 30 delegates in the members’ gallery and in the public gallery. Welcome to Queen’s Park.

Courage for Freedom, and their Project Maple Leaf, represents 500 allies. These community leaders are doing the heavy lifting in all sectors in society as collaborators to bring awareness to end human trafficking, with key support systems here in Ontario and across Canada. Welcome to Queen’s Park.
