YXS joins Human Trafficking Awareness program
PRINCE GEORGE— The Prince George Airport Authority (PGAA) has joined the #NotInMyCity human trafficking awareness program. Alongside staff training for the warning signs of human trafficking, yellow roses will be placed around YXS.
“The yellow flower is a symbol of hope. For those affected by human trafficking, it was developed by a Canadian designer as part of the #NotInMyCity program,” says Sabrina Angus, interim Ceo and President for PGAA. “It signifies, as an airport, that there is help available to those who need it.”
According to Public Safety Canada, human trafficking is when a perpetrator recruits, moves, or holds victims to exploit them for profit, usually for sexual reasons or forced labour. 93 per cent of human trafficking victims are women and girls and mayor Simon Yu says its happening right here in Prince George.
