Corporate Responsibility At It’s Best
Country’s largest tour operator joining forces with Beyond Borders
Air Transat A.T. Inc., one of the largest integrated tourism companies in the world and Canada’s holiday travel leader, and Beyond Borders (Au-delà des frontières), have signed an agreement and are joining forces to fight child sex tourism.
In the context of the implementation of its action plan for corporate responsibility supporting more sustainable tourism, Transat wants to contribute to the elimination of this global scourge that involves international travellers, notably through awareness raising programs. Beyond Borders will provide expertise and training resources to Transat.
Please go to the Resources page for more info on Beyond Borders, who are advocating for children on a global scale.

Safety Strategies for Children
It’s back to school so be sure your children know the following strategies published by Child Find Canada:
- the “buddy system” to never go to places on their own.
-to “check first” with their parents before going anywhere with anyone or accepting gifts.
-to trust their instincts by being assertive if someone tries to impose themselves in ANY way that causes discomfort.
-remind them they are smart and strong and have the right to be safe.
I wish all children a happy, safe return to school.
