Calgary advocate spearheads nationwide campaign to reinstate Online Harms Act for child safety

A Calgary woman is leading a national campaign urging the federal government to reintroduce and strengthen the Online Harms Act to protect children from harmful online content, including sexual exploitation, cyberbullying, and exposure to dangerous online groups. Alberta’s Internet Child Exploitation unit has investigated over 17,500 cases in the past three years, highlighting the growing risk to young people. Advocates are calling for mandatory protections, independent regulation of digital platforms, and inclusion of AI chatbots in the legislation.
