Recent ACJA Workshops

Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labour: a modern-day form of slavery. The impact on victims is traumatic. ACJA offered a one day workshop (April 7, 2011 in Edmonton and April 8, 2011 in Calgary) to provide an overview. Representatives from the police services, Justice Canada, and ACT Alberta (Action Coalition on human Trafficking) presented alongside a traumatologist and a survivor of human trafficking. This workshop was of interest to police, victim services, crown prosecutors, health professionals, shelters, faith communities, corrections, and those looking to expand their knowledge of this crime.

In 2005 ACJA co-hosted the Canadian Congress on Criminal Justice in Calgary and garnered accolades for the quality of program offered and the financial success of this venture. In the past, ACJA has been noted for the planning and offering of workshops in both Calgary and Edmonton on such topic areas as FASD, Mental Illness, and Relationship. Our focus has been primarily directed at line level staff and the offering of material that can be used in their day to day work requirements.
