Key activities include the development of engagement strategies for rural and remote communities, identifying partners and piloting new service-driven partnerships, developing an Indigenous community engagement strategy, piloting a survivor-led advisory council, and regularly assessing and refining approaches based on data insights.
With the supplemental funds and 12-month extension provided in early 2026, the Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta Association will expand its Victim Response and Education programs across rural and northern Alberta, as well as into the Northwest Territories.
