Sask. government saves human-trafficking response program in Saskatoon

The Saskatchewan government has committed to funding the Saskatoon-based Human Trafficking Response Team (HTRT). This decision follows the expiration of a federal support agreement that previously sustained the police-run program.

The provincial intervention ensures the continued operation of the specialized unit, which focuses on addressing human trafficking. The move preserves the team's capacity to investigate and respond to trafficking incidents within the region following the withdrawal of federal financial backing.
