Canada's Strategy

Cybertip.ca was launched on September 26, 2002 in response to the growing problem of child sexual exploitation on the Internet. As a centralized web portal for receiving and addressing reports relating to the online sexual exploitation of children, Cybertip.ca was initially launched as a two-year pilot in Manitoba, and also provides educational material.

Based on the success of the provincial pilot, the Government of Canada announced in May 2004 that Cybertip.ca would become an integral partner of Canada's National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet. This led to the official launch of Cybertip.ca as Canada's national tipline in January 2005, further committing the tipline to the online protection of Canadian children.

On February 10, 2009, the Government of Canada announced the renewal of its National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet, which includes renewable funding for Cybertip.ca. This continued partnership and the generous support of the federal government will help reduce child victimization and ensure all Canadians have access to our programs and services.

Major Partners of Canada's National Strategy

National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre

The National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre (NCECC), an integral part of Canada's National Police Services, was created to help protect children from online sexual exploitation. The Centre's mandate is to reduce the vulnerability of children to Internet-facilitated sexual exploitation by identifying victimized children; investigating and assisting in the prosecution of sexual offenders; and, strengthening the capacity of municipal, territorial, provincial, federal, and international police agencies through training, research, and investigative support.

Human Trafficking National Coordination Centre

The RCMP's Human Trafficking National Coordination Centre (HTNCC) works in collaboration with domestic and international agencies to develop an extensive number of partnerships, monitor investigations from a national perspective, facilitate the central processing of requests from international law enforcement agencies, provide analytical service and intelligence feedback to domestic law enforcement, and contribute to international data banks.

PUBLIC SAFETY CANADA

Public Safety Canada is the federal department responsible for the coordination of the National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet.
