Human trafficking: It happens here KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com
Casandra Diamond says she will never forget what happened Sept. 11, 2014, at 7:10 p.m. That is the moment in time she left the sex trade industry. For 10 years, starting at the
age of 17, the Newmarket woman serviced men - sometimes 10 to 15 a night. She watched other girls like her struggle to survive, coming from abusive childhoods into lives of violence and addiction. Her faith, an encouraging community, and one strong
person who invested the time, helped her change her life and now she wants to give back as director of a growing organization called BridgeNorth, a program of Grace Church in Newmarket that helps women trapped in prostitution, sexual exploitation and trafficking.
Diamond shared her story with others involved in the fight against human trafficking at the “Hope Happens” event in Richmond Hill on Nov. 10. Organizers hope it is the first of many events to let people

Many of us take our mental capacity The Wills Lawyer for granted. As long as we are mentally capable, we can refinance or sell our homes, sign contracts, pay our bills, deal with our investments and make many other financial decisions. However, if we were to lose our mental capacity due to an accident or illness, it would become extremely difficult to deal with all these matters in an orderly manner. This is why it is so important to have a legally enforceable continuing power of attorney for property. This document will allow the person or persons appointed on the document to deal with all of these financial matters, if the person granting the power of attorney for property becomes incapable. Many young people tell me that they are Michelle Kotzer not too worried about this area of the law because they are healthy and can easily look after their own financial affairs. They often tell me that only older people have to think about a continuing power of attorney for property. The problem with this thinking is that, even though a young person may be healthy today and fully able to look after his or her financial affairs, no one knows whether a sudden illness or an unforeseen traffic accident or sports accident will occur. If any of these events occur, a financial nightmare can await the families of those who are unprepared. Without a proper continuing power of attorney for property, there is no one in place who can automatically step in and manage your financial affairs. You may feel protected because you have done a will. The problem is that your will is only going to take effect when you die. A will is of no help to you while you are alive. If you own assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate or a business, all of these assets may be frozen, in the event that you become mentally incapable, unless of course you have signed a proper continuing power of attorney for property. Ontario law provides that when a doctor, in what is defined as a psychiatric facility determines that a person has lost his or her capacity, the results of such determination are forwarded to an office of the Government of Ontario known as the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee. Upon receipt of such notification, the government office automatically steps in to take control of the management of all of that person’s financial affairs and property. Through this procedure, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee becomes the statutory guardian of that person’s property. If a spouse or child of an incapacitated person wishes to replace the government guardianship of such person’s property, the spouse or child must apply to the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee to take over the financial affairs of the person who is determined to be incapacitated. This application will involve the preparation and submission of a management plan acceptable to the government. The submission of a filing fee and the applicant may have to submit a bond, depending upon determination of the government. It must be realized as well that the government does have the discretion to either reject the application totally or to grant it, but on very limited terms. You should be aware that had the incapacitated person taken the precaution, prior to the onset of his or her incapacity, of preparing a proper continuing power of attorney for property covering all of his or her assets, all of these procedures and expenses could have been avoided. Under Ontario law, this type of power of attorney terminates any government involvement in the financial affairs of the incapacitated person. From the above comments, it becomes apparent just how important it is to have a proper continuing power of attorney for property in place in order to protect your assets from government intervention. In my next column, I will be discussing more about this complicated area of law. If you do not have a continuing power of attorney for property or if you do not have a will, and are not sure where to start, I offer a free power of attorney and will consultation. If you have a continuing power of attorney for property and a will and are not sure if they are up to date or if they are suitable for your life situation, I offer a free power of attorney and will review. I am a wills lawyer with the law firm of Fish and Associates located at 7951 Yonge Street, Thornhill, Ontario, in a turn of the century home with plenty of free parking. I can be reached by email at mkotzer@fishlaw.ca or by phone at 905881-1500 Ext. 22.

A Daughter’s Deadly Deception
| The Liberal | Thursday, November 17, 2016
CRIME
Reporter Jeremy Grimaldi’s first book chronicles Jennifer Pan murder trial JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com In December 2014, Markham’s Jennifer Pan was found guilty in the first-degree murder of her mother Bich Ha Pan and the attempted murder of her father Hann Pan. York Region Media Group reporter Jeremy Grimaldi covered the trial and has written a book on the subject. The following is an excerpt from the first chapter of A Daughter’s Deadly Deception, which was released this month.
approaches, he hears the confusing cries of Hann, but quickly realizes that gunmen have robbed the home when Hann motions with his fingers in the shape of a gun. Hann manages to get across that the intruders shot him and his wife and left his daughter inside the house. Nothing is further from York Regional Constable Mason Baines’s mind than murder as he drives around the peaceful city of Markham, Ontario, in his cruiser that night. After hearing the gun call on his CB, he races over to Helen Avenue, breaking the posted limit and covering the mile and a quarter in two minutes flat. When he gets out of his car and draws close to
the door of the house, he recalls from his training what to do when faced with a gun call - hit the wall, draw your pistol, check that the coast is clear. The young uniformed officer glances down and notices blood droplets leading to the front door. Following them inside and through the home’s dining room, he calls out, trying to locate the person yelling from within. A panicked female voice answers, telling him that she’s “upstairs.” “I’m okay!” she cries, but says something is wrong with her mother, who’s in the basement and has been shot. Baines makes his way through the house and is confronted with an eerily
calm scene. The trail of blood leads him slowly forward. Other than the red drops that stain the hardwood, the rest of the main floor seems in order. Mike Stesco, along with rookie partner Brian Darroch, follows Baines. He later notes: “Everything in the house seemed to be where it should be. Obviously, we’ve done home invasions in the past where the house had been ransacked, but [in this case], nothing was out of place, nothing taken.” When the three officers descend into the basement, Baines recoils at the sight before him. Stesco later describes the scene: “There was a lot of blood.... It was by her head and then she had a blue towel over her head.” Stesco speaks to the woman but knows deep down it’s pointless. There is no response. Four paramedics rush in soon after and flip over the lifeless body. They try to revive her, but it is a useless exercise. Stesco tells his partner to head upstairs to secure the young woman. Darroch, his gun drawn, moves cautiously up through the house. As he approaches the home’s final victim, he starts to holster his weapon. When he calls out, Jennifer tells him she’s unsure if the assailants are actually gone. Darroch grips his service pistol again and quickly raises it. Peering through the gun’s sight finder, he acknowledges Jennifer, then proceeds to clear all the rooms. Satisfied that no intruders are still present, Darroch returns to Jennifer. He retrieves a pair of scissors from Jennifer’s bedroom and cuts the bootlace binding her tiny wrists.

“Nine-one-one. Do you require -?” Before the operator can get the all the words out of her mouth she hears a young woman’s frenzied cries for assistance: “Help me, please! I need help ... I don’t know where my parents are ...” “Ma’am, ma’am, calm down. What’s going on?” asks the operator. “Some people just broke into our house and they just stole all our money!” the girl screams. “I just heard shots, pops. I’m tied upstairs. I had my hands tied behind my back. I had my cellphone in my pocket. Please come ... help!” “What did they look like?” “I’m not sure ... the guy who was with me, he was a male ... one of them had a hoodie. They had most of the lights off before they left. I think he was black, I think, I’m not sure. They didn’t hurt me.... They had guns and they were holding me at gunpoint.... They took my parents downstairs and I heard pops ... All they said was ‘You’re not co-operating.’” The woman is calling from a live crime scene. In the background a blood-curdling howl is heard. “Dad ...? I’m calling 911 ... I’m okay!” the caller yells out. “Do you hear [your] mom anywhere downstairs?” “I don’t hear her anymore ...” The girl’s voice trails off and cracks with emotion. She sounds petrified and begs the operator to remain on the phone with her until the police arrive. Moments later, sirens and loud shouting can be heard as police officers arrive on the scene. Three men jump out of the cruisers and take in the gruesome scene, their eyes struggling to grasp what lies before them. Two men, one partially dressed and dishevelled, are in the driveway of 240 Helen Avenue. Neighbour Peter Chung stands worriedly beside Hann Pan, who screams about the pain in his face in broken English. His clothes are drenched in blood, a “thick red liquid dripping from his nose.” When Constable Mike Stesco

Let your children play

A
s parents, our first priority has become protecting our children. We protect them from the monsters in their closet and from big dogs and even bigger spiders. But many of us also protect them from perceived dangers and bumps, bruises, breaks and scrapes. We may believe this is what’s best for our children, but research is showing the opposite to be true. Unstructured play-play with no time limits, no rules to follow and no adult instruction-has been either scheduled or shamed right out of many modern families. In April, Winnipeg mom Jacqui Kendrick made the news after Manitoba Child and Family Services followed up on complaint about her children being unsupervised, Kendrick said she regularly lets her children, aged two, five and 10, play in the fenced-in yard after school-and she’s either with them or watching from the window. Times have certainly changed. Without getting nostalgic, many adults would agree that the way they raise their children today is far different than how they grew up. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Children should wear helmets when riding their bikes around the neighbourhood and cellphones allow us to keep a closer eye on where they are, but the bubble wrapping of our children has gone too far. Something as simple as sending your child into the backyard to play independently or with friends not only gets them up and moving, but also lets them use their imagination, problem-solving skills, risk assessment, social skills and boost self-esteem. A child will find things outside to play with, use problem-solving skills when they decide what should come next, assess risk while climbing trees or balancing on a log and social skills are used to negotiate with friends while playing make believe. If a child falls while balancing on that log, they’re bound to learn a valuable lesson that will benefit them down the road. That lesson can’t be taught through discussions. They need to learn independence The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada states there is now evidence that neural pathways in children’s brains are influenced by and advanced in their development through the exploration, thinking skills, problem solving and language expression that occur during play. Children have a natural curiosity so when given the ability to make choices while building, drawing or playing make believe, they are further developing cognitive, physical, social and emotional skills.

Raw milk poster offensive, misleading Dear fellow citizens, York Region’s raw milk poster is offensive and misleading. There are more kinds of milk than this. Raw milk, like any ‘raw’ or ‘pasteurized’ food, can make you sick if contaminated. People who drink unpasteurized milk do so mostly because they wish to have whole organic or biodynamic foods, support sustainable farming and consume food from local farmers. Thousands are drinking milk from goats, sheep, buffalo and cows. Canadians are free under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to eat and drink what they wish, follow their own conscience, and pursue happiness and
• LETTERS • health. Canada is the only G8 country where unpasteurized milk is not regulated and sold in stores. Why not regulate milk here too? The Queen of England drinks raw milk and so do all of her children and grandchildren. If you want to understand the bigger picture and find out where our current milk laws originated, see the documentary Farmageddon. Thousands are dying from cigarette-related diseases and other things. Let’s put the focus where it really is needed. Lois Banks Richmond Hill

faith. However, I was very shocked and offended by the setup of your page nine in the Nov. 3 issue. You have a touching article about a Polish musician who survived the Holocaust under the major headline: ‘Event Celebrates Holocaust Survivor’s Music.’ Directly underneath that you have the subtitle: ‘Composer survived horrors of Auschwitz and Dachau’. Directly below that is an advertisement block bearing the message: ‘Why would a cemetery want you to live longer?’ This is offensive in language and placement due to the topic of the article. This ad takes up twothirds of the page dividing the article about the musician into three definite parts. It is shocking that the person who sets
up the page and the editor who approved did not have sensitivity first of all to the subject of the main article or the understanding that these articles when taken together are most probably offensive to Holocaust survivors and their descendants. I hope that the paper will issue an apology for this lack of judgment on the part of its staff. It also seems that the purpose of your paper leans more and more to the dissemination of advertisement that to actual news events. Margaret Hall Richmond Hill

Sharing stories makes good business sense Recently I presented a State of the Town Address to the business community at the Annual Mayor's Chamber of Commerce Luncheon. As I spoke to the group I could hear myself sharing all the great stories of success in our Town and the big projects that are soon to get underway. There are so many great projects ahead including a new, 19,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art library in Oak Ridges. Construction is underway and the library is expected to be open in the winter of 2017. As well, work on phase III of the Lake Wilcox Park will begin next year with a brand new youth area which will include a skate park, beach volleyball and basketball courts, fitness equipment. This park is already one of the most beautiful in the GTA and enjoyed by many. I can hardly wait to see what the next phase will be like. I hope you've heard by
DAVE BARROW Mayor’s Column now that we are planning to go ahead with an exciting, new civic facility in the centre of Town. You told us that you wanted a central gathering space and now is the time to make that happen. The Civic Precinct space will include an outdoor skating rink, amphitheater and expanded Central Library. This area will be a thriving hub and the new home to the municipal offices, including Council and committee

meetings. In addition, the Civic Precinct will help to revitalize our downtown by bringing more people and more activity to the Yonge Street core. Improvements are being made to our public transit with Metrolinx and GO Transit adding frequent rush-hour train service during the week, more stops and two new stations on the way. Work has also begun on our dedicated bus lanes called rapidways. Of course, my favourite subject, the Yonge Street subway extension, is always top of mind. In June, the Province of Ontario announced more than $55 million for Metrolinx to work with transit partners to continue planning and design work of the Yonge North Subway Extension. The subway is a priority and Richmond Hill is on board. We plan to continue to push for a long-term financial commitment from the other levels of government.

What if you were nine years old and your art was suddenly famous? Joelle Wong knows what that's like, and she is beside herself with excitement. The Richmond Hill resident has won first place in a national contest by the Royal Canadian Mint to design a coin for Canada's 150th celebration. That design, based on a painting titled "Birth of a Green Future" that she created when she was 8, will grace the reverse (or tails) side of the 2017 25-cent circulation coin. "I can't believe people all over the world, all over the country, are going to use my coin for actual money in circulation for many years," enthused the Grade 5 student at the Richmond Hill Christian Academy. Joelle said her artwork, depicting a pair of hands reaching out to a turtle, bird, beaver and plant, symbolizes how we are all connected in protecting Canada's nature. It was completed in five classes at Beware Wet Paint studio in Markham, where she studies art. It was her love for animals and green space that gave Joelle the idea, she said. Joelle worked with one of her teachers to research Canadian wildlife and indigenous art techniques to develop her painting of animals commonly represented in aboriginal culture. "I wanted to show my hope for Canada's future in a painting that celebrates the importance of our nature and native Canadian culture," said Joelle. "It's amazing that so many Canadians liked my way of wishing a happy birthday to my beautiful homeland - Canada." The Canadian Mint launched the coin design contest in March, 2015. More than 10,000 designs, reflecting the artists' hopes and dreams for
Canada, were submitted. Three finalists were chosen from the local area - Kelly Tsui, of Richmond Hill, Candace Wong, from Markham, and Joelle Wong. Winners were decided by public vote and after more than a million votes were cast in an online vote in September, winners were announced this month. Canadians can find the coins in circulation next spring. "These coins will stand the test of time as memorable keepsakes of a milestone in Canadian history," said Bill Morneau, federal minister of finance.

LA Preview: Porsche debuts new Panameras at LA LOS ANGELES, CA: At the Los Angeles Auto Show, the sports car manufacturer will be presenting the luxury sport sedan with a new 330 hp V6 turbo gasoline engine, along with an extended wheelbase Executive version as yet another body option. The new V6 turbo is a highly efficient and agile addition to the impressive range of engines. Power is up by 20 hp from the corresponding engine of the previous Panamera generation. At the same time, Porsche was able to reduce the consumption of this completely redeveloped six-cylinder gasoline engine by up to 1.0l/100 km on the New European Drive Cycle. The new 330-hp engine is available with rear-wheel drive in the new Panamera and all-wheel drive in the new Panamera 4 or Panamera 4 Executive. While the Panamera and Panamera 4 with 330 hp redefine what can be expected at one end of the model line, the Executive models with their 5.9 inch (15 centimeter) longer wheelbase expand the body and equipment portfolio at the top end of the model line. The Executive models will be available in the all-wheel drive versions Panamera 4 Executive (330 hp), Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive (462 hp), Panamera
LA Preview: VW Passat Concept
4S Executive (440hp) and Panamera Turbo Executive (550 hp). The new Porsche Panamera Executive versions are equipped even more exclusively. The standard features are supplemented with a large panoramic roof, heated comfort seats with multiway electrical adjustment in the front
and rear, and adaptive air suspension with an electronically controlled damper system (Porsche Active Suspension Management / PASM). The roll-up sunblind behind the head restraints in the rear also comes as standard.

LOS ANGELES, CA: This week at the LA Auto Show, Volkswagen will unveil the Passat GT concept, designed by the company’s North American engineering hub in Chattanooga, Tenn. Combining fresh styling updates with the powerful 280 hp VR6 engine, the Passat GT concept previews a potential addition to the Passat lineup. The concept was created by Volkswagen’s North American Engineering and Planning Center in Chattanooga based on extensive feedback from U.S. customers and dealers. More than 20 design changes from the standard Passat mark the GT as a unique, eye-catching sedan. Starting from the black honeycomb grille insert with red accent lines that harken to those on the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the upgrades include unique bum-
per treatments, black window surrounds, a black roof and trunk spoiler, LED headlights, smoked taillights, a dual trapezoidal exhaust and a sport muffler. The 19-inch Tornado wheels cover redpainted brake calipers, and a 0.6-inch reduction in ride height gives the Passat GT concept a road-hugging stance. Inside, the Passat GT creates a sportier impression with carbon-fiber pattern door trim and instrument panel, twotone black-and-gray sport seats with contrast stitching, a black headliner and piano black center console trim. Power comes from the Volkswagen 3.6-litre TSI VR6, which makes 280 hp, tied to a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, controlled through shift paddles behind the steering wheel.

Residents angry over ‘mountain’ built by DDO developer KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com
Angelo Sinagoga looks out from his property on Fern Avenue at what he says is the "ugliest thing you could imagine". What used to be a heavily treed portion of the David Dunlap land fronting on Bayview is now a mountain of earth, and Sinagoga and his neighbours are furious. Residents in the community located at the southeast corner of the DDO lands say they were shocked last August to see the large berm appear where trees once stood. What they thought would be a buffer of trees between them and the new DDO development is an elevated storm water pond, and they are not happy. Sinagoga owns three lots backing onto the property approved for single family dwellings to be built, but real estate agent Magdele-
na Arcos said when she brought clients to look at the lots, they changed their minds. John Chow said he worries about the damn breaking and flooding nearby homes. "I bought this for the conservation land and now look at it. This is ridiculous." The Town of Richmond Hill has assured them the developer will landscape the berm, but residents say it's bandaid fix. Dan Terzievski, director of development engineering and transportation, said the town went through the planning process and public consultation along with a Master Environmental Servicing Plan with the developer DG Group. The land nearest Bayview and Fern was determined the best site for the storm pond, he said. "We were driven by a number of constraints.
There is a shallow ground water table and potential Oak Ridges moraine aquifer issues." The pond had to be relatively shallow to protect the integrity of adjacent wetland, he said. The developer has agreed to put in "significant enhanced landscaping" and will certify the soil so the plants grow quickly, he said. Terzievski said residents should not be at risk for flooding. "It's designed by professional engineers and will be fully inspected and certified." Water will be discharged into the storm system and in catastrophic storms, overflow channels will direct water toward Bayview Avenue. "We've done the best we can in this particular case and at the end of the day, we hope to make everyone happy."

MP apologizes for incorrectly calling himself engineer KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com
Richmond Hill MP Majid Jowhari has publicly apologized for calling himself a professional engineer while campaigning during the recent federal election. The Liberal MP came under fire from some in the local riding in the weeks leading up to the 2015 election for his use of the engineering titles when he was not licensed in Ontario, something that is forbidden under the Professional Engineers Act. Jowhari was charged by the Professional Engineers
Ontario (PEO) and, at a pre-hearing conference last month, he agreed to provide a public letter of apology and a donation to the Ontario Professional Engineers Foundation for Education. As a result, the charges were withdrawn. "It was unfortunate that it happened and it was an unintended mistake," he said in an interview with The Liberal. In his campaign material, Jowhari had described himself as a "successful entrepreneur and engineer" and the Richmond Hill Liberal riding association website said he held a P.Eng designa-
tion. Under the Professional Engineers Act, you may only use the term "engineer" in your job title if you hold a P.Eng. licence, according to Stephen Haddock, enforcement and advisory officer with the PEO. During the election period, other complaints arose regarding Jowhari's campaign statements that he held designations as a certified management accountant and certified management consultant, but governing bodies from those professions said he was not registered with them, either. Russ Powers, his cam-

paign manager, told The Liberal nothing was "hidden"; it was simply a matter of Jowhari not paying the annual dues which are "substantial" and not required as part of his business. Jowhari said he removed campaign references to the professional designations when he was informed of the problem. The governing bodies for CMAs and CMCs were satisfied with that, he said, and no further action was taken by the organizations. In his letter of apology, Jowhari said he had been a licensed professional engineer between 1995 and 1999, after which his licene was
cancelled for non-payment. "On Oct. 4, 2015, I attended a debate between six candidates from the ridings of Richmond Hill and Willowdale at the 'Federal Candidates Forum' organized by the Iranian Canadian Congress," he said in his formal apology. "When reviewing my credentials and work experience at the outset of the debate, I presented myself as an 'engineer' and a 'professional engineer' to those in attendance. These words were unscripted, were incorrect, and on reflection were potentially misleading. I did not intend to mislead anyone.
I regret these statements and sincerely apologize for my actions." Jowhari, who earned a Bachelor of Technology degree in industrial engineering from Ryerson University and an MBA from York University, currently sits on the House Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. "The intent was not to influence the outcome of the election," he told The Liberal. "I wasn't trying to get a professional engineer job. I learned from my mistake, I acknowledged the mistake, moved on from the mistake and paid for the mistake."

way to tackle holiday shopping without sacrificing time with family and friends is to make holiday shopping a social event. • Invite friends or family along. Recreate the days of your youth when it was fun to meet friends at the mall and scour the shops. Plan a meeting location and have an itinerary in place. Divide shopping lists so that everyone shares the task of shopping and fatigue doesn’t set in prematurely. • Make lunch or dinner part of the day. Incorporate refuelling into your shopping plans. Failure to eat or drink can lead to hunger pangs and test shoppers’ patience, two factors that are seldom conducive to successful shopping. Having an end goal to meet friends or family at a nearby restaurant - even a dining location right within the mall - can inspire intrepid shoppers to get their work done promptly. Reward yourself for a job well done over a tasty meal and maybe a cocktail. Just be sure to indulge responsibly. • Break up the day with a flick. Many malls also play home to movie theatres. Plan your shopping around the movie schedule so you can take a two-hour break to rest and relax in the theatre. Chances are you’ll come out of the film relaxed, refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of your shopping list. • Make it a date night. The thought of shopping may not conjure up ideas of romance, but if time

For 100 years The Salvation Army has been using funds donated via the Christmas Kettles to feed, clothe and assist people in the local community. This means that all funds raised in Richmond Hill stay in Richmond Hill. Volunteering as a bell ringer is an incredible way to enjoy the Christmas season by GIVING HOPE to those in need in your community. On the Kettles you would greet the public, ring the sleigh bells, and thank people for donating to the Kettle. It’s that simple but so rewarding for people to see a smiling, caring face.
Volunteer shifts begin November 17th and run until December 24th. • various locations • 2-3 hr shifts • various times available
Volunteer shifts are: • 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM • 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM • 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM • 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM • 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

New alliance to combat human trafficking launches in York Region ● From page 1 know that human trafficking happens in York Region. “When we talk about human trafficking, it’s a bit freaky. It’s something that happens in China, in India; it’s something that happens ‘over there’,” said Amanda Stassen, on the executive leadership team of the newly formed Community Partner Alliance to Stop TraffickingYork Region. Stassen told the gathering at 360Kids Home Base that when she heard trafficking was happening in York Region, “I went into a bit of a paralytic shock. How is that possible? And I have two kids!” “But hope happens when we start the conversation... stop hiding in fear,” she added. “It’s about breaking through the darkness and shedding light, telling everyone what is going on so they can be empowered to change.” And what is going on would likely surprise you. YRP Detective Doug James, from the organized crime bureau and human trafficking team, said many York Region girls “enter the game” at 14 to 16 years of age. Almost all victims have experienced sexual abuse, often by a family member or family friend, at an early age, although “we have had girls who are university-educated, come from wealthy families, brought up in great social circles, popular with their friends. You wouldn’t think that person would have any vulnerabilities, they seem like they’ve got it all together, but it happens.”

Organizers of the “Hope Happens” event in Richmond Hill Nov. 10 hope it is the first of many events to let people know that human trafficking happens in York Region. There are also boys being trafficked, although YRP deals primarily with girls. “I’m sure there are guys out there being trafficked, but I’ll be honest with you, we haven’t come across them. There are probably reasons for that - maybe we’re not focusing on them or maybe we have a narrow scope of what we’re looking at.” James said there are two types of pimps: the Romeo, and the Gorilla. The former acts like a boyfriend and pushes his girl to work so they can save money for a wonderful life together - a fabricated story. The Gorilla “is straight up violence right off the bat; some of it is atrocious.” Pimps find their girls primarily online - social websites, Facebook, Instagram, instant messaging through dating websites like Plenty of Fish - but also make con-
nections by hanging out at group homes, shopping malls and shelters. Most victims struggle with depression, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts. Drug and alcohol addiction, is common, he said. “A lot of girls will take drugs to numb their brain from what they’re having to do. This is their way to cope.” The girls don’t “work the corners” in York Region, he said. “Nowadays it’s all pushed online... We still see massage parlours and strip clubs. We’re starting to see a lot more spas, in Markham in particular.” But hotels are the biggest venue, he said. “It’s happening in every hotel in York Region.” ‘Johns,’ the customers, are from every walk of life -paying $80 to $120 per halfhour, $180 to $240 an hour.

Is your child a sex trade worker? Telltale signs: ● New boyfriend that you never see or are introduced to ● Stays out late or doesn’t come home at all over the weekend ● Introduction to drug or alcohol abuse ● Leaves with an overnight bag on the weekends ● Hotel key cards or receipts ● Bruises or injuries that can’t be explained, or nursing a minor injury that you can’t see ● New tattoos – names, sayings, logos (showing they are property of particular pimp) ● Diminished social interaction with friends and family (pimps take away their phones and social media access, try to isolate them) ● Expensive clothes, purses, phones that they normally could not afford.

“Most girls say they’ve been told by their pimps they must make at least $1,000 a day. If they don’t, the pimp decreases their rates, offer ‘specials’ so the girls must service more people to reach their quota.” Generally the pimp takes all the profit and throws a few dollars or gifts to the girls, he said. If it weren’t for the customers, human trafficking wouldn’t exist, said Kevin Vowles, community engagement manager for White Ribbon, a Canadian organization promoting healthy relationships and new visions of masculinity. Men and boys have a responsibility to fight the ‘toxic masculinity’ and ‘locker-room talk’ that makes it acceptable, Vowles said, adding White Ribbon’s program itstartswithyou.ca can help.

“When you live your life surrounded by perpetual abuse, you come to believe that is your lot in life. Abuse became an ordinary part of my life. It is that cycle of abuse and violence that criminals later rely on to exploit. I entered the sex trade a few months after turning 17. My involvement spanned a 10-year period. I lived in Newmarket the entire time I was trafficked. I shopped at our malls, went to our schools, ate at our restaurants, but I was invisible because nobody saw me. My time in the sex industry included some of the same things as my childhood, except now I was so much more an object and not a person. My pimp and customers only wanted what they wanted. They had no real care or concern for my needs. On your period? Too bad. Tired? Oh well. I worked at a very busy place. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the adult industry weekend. Tha’s 10 to 14 customers a night. My story is not unique. I have met countless women and girls with the same and worse personal experiences. In order for me to exit prostitution, I had to leave the area entirely. I had to rebuild my entire life. I had not learned how to live life, cope with problems, or think critically. I needed a safe place to live, to learn life skills, learn who I was, get trauma counselling,
