We suggest that one goal for new club Presidents is to bring new perspectives and hope to your members as well as including the critical conversations of Human Trafficking (HT) happening in your communities.
Human Trafficking, not to be confused with Human Smuggling, is not a big-town issue but an EVERY-town issue, especially for those in Seaway-East communities along the Highway 401 corridor. The Rotary Club of Cornwall-Sunrise has been actively sounding the alarm on this issue since 2017 when Past-President Sheila Tallon became a Rotarian. As well as devoting meetings to, and hosting speakers from various local agencies that are directly involved in HT, the Rotary Club of Cornwall-Sunrise has partnered with local police agencies, hospitals, social services, gas stations and even the local Starbucks for various Human Trafficking education and awareness campaigns. The Rotary Club of Cornwall-Sunrise also provided financial support and volunteers for all five Annual Human Trafficking Conferences held in Cornwall. The club continues to be a member of the Human Trafficking Taskforce of S.D.G. & A as public education and provision of safe housing for victims are an integral part of combatting this issue.
We are glad to announce that in District 7040 we now have two Human Trafficking Champions: Linda Bissonnette (RC Hawkesbury) and Sharyn Duffey (RC Cornwall-Sunrise). Clubs and Rotarians across District 7040 can contact these leaders for more HT information and/or initiatives.

Félicitations à tous les nouveaux/-elle président(e)s de club du district 7040 et du monde entier! Cela vous amène un peu proche de votre gouverneur de secteur, de votre gouverneur de district, du Rotary International et de la Fondation Rotary. Nous suggérons que l'un des objectifs des nouveaux/-elle président(e)s de club soit d'apporter de nouvelles perspectives et de l'espoir à vos membres, ainsi que d'inclure les conversations critiques sur la traite personnes qui se déroulent dans vos communautés.
La traite des personnes, ne faut pas confondre avec le passage de clandestins, n'est pas un problème de grande ville, mais un problème de TOUTES les villes, en particulier des communautés de Seaway Est le long de l'autoroute 401. Depuis 2017, le club Rotary de Cornwall-Sunrise tire la sonnette d'alarme à ce sujet, lorsque la présidente sortante Sheila Tallon est devenue Rotarienne. En plus de consacrer des réunions et d'accueillir des conférenciers de diverses agences locales qui sont directement impliquées dans la traite des personnes, le club Rotary de Cornwall-Sunrise s'est associé à des services de police locaux, des hôpitaux, des services sociaux, des stations-service et même le Starbucks à Cornwall pour divers éducation et sensibilisation à la traite des personnes. Le club Rotary de Cornwall-Sunrise a également fourni un soutien financier et des bénévoles pour les cinq conférences annuelles sur la traite des personnes tenues à Cornwall. Le club continue d'être membre du groupe de travail sur la traite des personnes de S.D.G. & A car l'éducation du public et la fourniture d'un logement sûr aux victimes font partie intégrante de la lutte contre ce problème.
Nous sommes heureux d'annoncer que dans le district 7040, nous avons maintenant deux championnes de la traite des personnes: Linda Bissonnette (RC Hawkesbury) et Sharyn Duffey (RC Cornwall-Sunrise). Les clubs et les Rotariens du District 7040 peuvent contacter ces dirigeants pour plus d'informations et/ou des initiatives.
