#NotInMyCity

Not in my city. Not in my province. Not anywhere.

#NotInMyCity exists to increase awareness of domestic violence and acts of human trafficking in the travel sector, as well as educate both staff and the public on preventative action in order to safeguard individuals and marginalized groups.

History & Vision

The Not in My City (NIMC) campaign was launched in July, 2017, by Paul Brandt to raise awareness and take collective action to prevent and end human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

Since its launch, NIMC has promoted change in the travel sector to support, facilitate and advocate for the development and mobilization of a strategic, integrated plan to bring about transformational and sustainable change at the grassroots, practice, policy and legislative levels.The iconic yellow rose created by renowned Canadian designer, Paul Hardy.

The rose is a symbol of support, and a statement that you stand in solidarity with trafficking survivors as an Ally of #NotInMyCity.

Nanaimo Airport is proud to announce a new education and awareness program has been introduced in support of NIMC. For details please see the April 2024 Media Release
