Paul Brandt headlines Calgary fundraiser to raise awareness about human trafficking in Canada

Alberta country singer Paul Brandt hosted a fundraiser Friday in downtown Calgary for Not My City, a charity he founded to raise awareness about human trafficking. A fundraiser took place Friday night led by an Alberta country music legend to raise awareness about human trafficking. Paul Brandt was the main attraction at the TELUS Convention Centre for the third annual 'A Not So Silent Summer' concert. The event brought together live music, fans and community leaders in support of Not My City, a charity founded by Brandt. The Juno Award winning songwriter of 'Alberta Bound' created the organization after seeing how sexual exploitation affects individuals, families and communities. 'We had heard from a number of people in the province that they didn't even believe there was human trafficking going in the province here,' Brandt said. 'A lot of times people think it's a conspiracy theory, something that they don't really expect would happen in a country as wonderful as Canada, but the reality is that it is happening,' he added. 'And in eight years, we've seen an awakening,' he said, 'where it's starting to go from a head knowledge for people -- they're learning about the statistics -- to a real heart knowledge.'
