Our Projects
Project This Way Out >
Is a 30 month partnership project between Victim Services of Peel and Peel Regional Police, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada. The project builds on a promising practice of integrating two Anti-Human Trafficking Crisis Intervention Counsellors (AHT CIC) from Victim Services of Peel (VSOP) to work directly within the Vice Unit of Peel Regional Police.
The activities of this project are designed to produce an effective and replicable human trafficking professional learning and crisis response model which can be implemented and expanded upon by other regions in Ontario and Canada.
