ACT voiced its opposition to CFBR-FM's 2011 contest that awarded the winner a Russian bride.[5]
ACT partnered with Mount Royal University to produce a report released in 2012 stating that Calgary is a transit point, destination, and source for human trafficking.[6] The main findings of the report point to a lack of clarity around what constitutes human trafficking by frontline service providers. The research revealed that there are known and suspected victims of human trafficking in Calgary who are foreign nationals and Canadian citizens trafficked for sexual or labour exploitation.[7]
The Department of Justice provided ACT with funding to host human-trafficking-awareness-raising events during National Victims of Crime Awareness Week 2012.[8]
