A year long study on the reality of human trafficking in Northwestern Ontario is underway.
Funded by Ontario’s Solicitor General in cooperation with Provincial Police, Dr. Anita Olsen Harper of Lac Seul First Nation has been selected to do the research study.
Harper has a PHD in Education from the University of Ottawa and stresses this study is long overdue with very little known about human trafficking in the Northwest.
“In the northeast there have been a few studies initiated by Universities, but up in the Northwest region I haven’t found anything that has to do with human trafficking research.”
