Our Global Village (OGV), in association with numerous community partners including the city of Surrey, RCMP, Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit- BC, Surrey Crime Prevention Society and many sports clubs, hosted a Youth Speaks Out against Drugs, Gangs and Violence Forum on Tuesday at the Dhaliwal Banquet Hall. The dialogue between youth and stakeholders focused on preventative solutions while addressing our city’s most pressing issues of the recent gang violence. The goal was to provide adequate tools and crucial information to better their understanding of gang prevention. The community-partnerships developed through the forum will provide the youth with an opportunity to work directly with different community groups and to initiative positive change by becoming involved in the many programs and services that are currently being offered by the City of Surrey, RCMP, Surrey Crime Prevention Society, YMCA and other organizations that work to meet needs of the youth.
