Ten people gathered outside Greater Victoria School District offices Tuesday to draw attention to a drastic rise in gang recruitment in schools across the Capital Region.
Mia Golden, a counsellor within a crime reduction and exploitation diversion program says in her 10-year career, she’s never seen gang recruitment tactics this bold. “We’re seeing known gang members, gang members that are known to be connected to lower mainland gangs, who are actively recruiting many of our youth and they’re going right into our schools,” said Manak in 2023.
“It brings that level of trauma down,” said Golden. “Now we don’t have that, it’s frustrating. It’s really frustrating.”
