Saskatchewan Steps In to Save Trafficking Team | Edmonton News
Description
Saskatchewan’s government is stepping in with $160,000 to keep Saskatoon’s vital human trafficking response team alive after federal funding vanished—saving the day when police had been footing the bill for five months. This emergency provincial-federal partnership preserves a critical service that connects survivors with care and aids investigations, but it’s not permanent; funding ends next year. While the federal government promises more support for a broader program, details remain murky. Another key local group, Hope Restored, also lost federal funds and now relies on this same temporary provincial lifeline—raising questions about why other applications were denied and whether these crucial programs will survive beyond 2025.
