School teens work against violence

NORTH Shore teenagers are
networking against violence.

About 20 high school representatives
meet monthly as part of the North Shore
Youth Together Against Violence
Network.

“The aim is for young people to take
a stand against crime and violence by
working, on prevention projects,” said
Keith Ramzan, regional youth coordina-
tor who works for the Attorney General’s

community justice branch.

The North Shore high schoo) network
is part of a province-wide initiative called
Youth Action Teams.

Ramzan said that upcoming youth
network events include violence preven-
tion presentations by Carson Graham
students to elementary schools.

- A Youth Against Viclence walk for
Youth Week in May is tentatively
planned. Ramzan said Saint Thomas
Aquinas high school students recently

completed a purple ribbon campaign as
part of violence awareness.

The network is a branch of the adult
Together Against Violence group.
Funding for the network comes from the
province, North Vancouver City and
District.

The North Van RCMP support the
network through the school liaison pro-
gram. For more information, call Ramzan
at 775-2028.
