National Day of Awareness of Human Trafficking

May 1, 2026 | Spotlight

From the shores of Lake Superior to the heart of the Greater Toronto Area, parish council united in a powerful display of solidarity for the National Day of Awareness of Human Trafficking.

Landmarks across the province lit up in blue – each one a beacon of compassion and commitment. Thanks to the advocacy and heartfelt requests of members, the CN Tower, Mississauga Civic Centre Clock Tower, Vaughan City Hall, Niagara Falls, Thunder Bay City Hall, Sacred Heart in Sioux Lookout, and St. Martin of Tours in Terrace Bay all glowed blue in support of their awareness campaign. Their light joined countless parish signs and community spaces illuminated by councils determined to shine hope in the darkness across Ontario.
