Our May Speaker will be Michael Boole
"Human Trafficking, Child Exploitation & Money Laundering"
Human trafficking and online child sexual exploitation are a growing scourge,
driven in part by pandemic disruption and emerging payment methods.
Fortunately, the public and private sectors
have been actively responding to this insidious threat.
Project Protect and Project Shadow are public private partnerships (PPPs)
which were created to assist businesses and financial crime investigators
at better identifying and reporting transactions
related to the laundering of funds associated with these crimes.
Hear from Michael Boole, Manager of the Anti-Money Unit at FINTRAC
(the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada),
as he guides you through key red flags and typologies and recent case studies
that demonstrate FINTRAC’s unique ability to detect
the financial footprints linked to these crimes.
Michael Boole has been with
the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC)
for 15 years and has held positions within the
Intelligence, Domestic Policy and Compliance sectors.
He is currently an Anti-Money Laundering Manager
within FINTRAC’s Intelligence Sector,
responsible for the production and dissemination
of financial intelligence to regime partners.
Previous to this role, Michael was a Manager within the Compliance Sector,
and was responsible for overseeing both the National Examination Strategy
and the Administrative Monetary Penalties.
Prior to his work at FINTRAC,
he spent almost a decade working for two of Canada’s major banks.

At our June 14 meeting, John & Jan Milnes will talk about
"The British Home Children."
Never heard of them?
An estimated 80,000 to 100,000 of these children, aged 4 to 14 years,
came to Canada between 1869 and 1939 to work as farm labourers and domestics.
These two Probus members from the Cornwall Club will present
