GANG PREVENTION

Kamloops parents invited to attend anti-gang seminar

Feb 25, 2020 | 9:11 AM

KAMLOOPS — Parents in two Southern Interior cities are being asked to attend upcoming education sessions as part of B.C.’s school-based gang prevention initiative.

The upcoming parent education session in Kamloops will be March 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Henry Grube Education Centre.

No registration is required and sessions are roughly 90 minutes.

“These sessions are focused on raising awareness of local risks and giving parents the tools and supports they need to keep their children out of gang life,” says Education Minister Rob Fleming in a news release. “Training opportunities like these can help parents ensure their kids get the support they need earlier, so they can continue to work together toward positive futures.”

The gang prevention program provides education and training opportunities for students, parents, educators, law enforcement officials and community stakeholders.
