On Saturday, September 17, 2011, PACT-Ottawa hosted its first annual "Journey for Justice", as part of the Freedom Relay Canada initiative. The Freedom Relay is an effort to raise consciousness and mobilize local support to end human trafficking in communities across Canada. Funds raised from the event were shared between international, pan-Canadian and local programs for trafficked persons.  Approximately forty people braved the brisk Ottawa morning on Relay Day to walk, run or cycle the 12.5 kilometre route through the heart of the nation's capital. Altogether we traveled over 500 km -- about the distance from Orleans (in Ottawa's east end) to Hamilton (at the western tip of Lake Ontario)!  For a glimpse of the fun we had with the Ottawa leg of the national relay please see our Freedom Relay Slideshow.
