Paul Brandt on efforts to tackle human trafficking

Renowned Canadian Country Artist Paul Brandt is in Lethbridge this week on a mission to tackle an ever-present issue.

Brandt serves as the Founder of Not In My City, an organization founded to raise awareness and take collective action against human trafficking. He is visiting our city as the co-chair of the recently founded Alberta Centre to End Trafficking In Persons and has been engaging in discussion with frontline agencies to coordinate Alberta’s response to human trafficking.

He tells BCN he has seen over time how their activism has made a significant difference in the lives affected by trafficking.

Not In My City has trained over 22,000 people through their free e-training program to look for signs of human trafficking. Brandt will begin a cross-country musical tour this fall with multiple stops in Alberta including Medicine Hat.
