Scripts At Work was a playwriting organisation based in Red Deer, Alberta. It was founded in 2003 by Lynda Adams and Tanya Ryga and ceased activity at the end of 2014. Aspiring playwrights submitted scripts to the organisation each year, and a jury of literary professionals selected some to be developed further under the guidance of professional theatre directors and dramaturges. Literary professionals who have served on Scripts At Work juries include Vanessa Porteous, Trevor Schmidt, Eric Rose, Glenda Stirling, and Mieko Ouchi. The screenplay for the film Tumaini was adapted from a script that was selected by Scripts At Work. Scripts At Work also hosted an annual fundraiser at Red Deer College.

Katarina MacLeod (born 1973) is a former sex worker who provides aid to victims of human trafficking, working with police and helping girls and women exit prostitution. She became a prostitute when she was 21 She remained in the sex industry for 17 years. During this time, she lived in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. While she was in the sex industry, some of her fellow prostitutes were only 12 years old. MacLeod's name at birth was not Katarina; she chose the name once she had left the sex industry because she associated her old given name with the abuse and violence she experienced as a prostitute. In relation to Bedford v. Canada, in which brothels were legalized in Ontario, MacLeod said, "I feel that the majority of prostituted women who support legalization feel trapped by their choices, because it is easier to continue the lie rather than admit to yourself that something is wrong." In 2013, MacLeod joined Jaclyn Miles in speaking at The Freedom Tour, a conference about human trafficking. In May 2013, MacLeod spoke at a screening of Nefarious: Merchant of Souls in Peterborough hosted by Canadian Baptist Women of Ontario and Quebec.
