Continuing from last month's in part two of my story, I was confident that there's was little but positive
hope for change for our Aboriginal people. First, there was a workshop that was hosted by the Aboriginal Community Policing
Centre Society and the Aboriginal Front Door Society at the Carnegie Centre. One of the key important issues was drug
dealing towards children on or near school grounds, gang related crime and sex trade among Aboriginal women and youth.
The debate of all of this was confusing to other people that attended this workshop because of lack of understanding. The
ideas that came from me when I was there was that there should be a Aboriginal community watchers or guardians that can patrol
the streets of Vancouver as to prevent the violence towards women, youth and drug trafficking. Education on sexual health
and awareness was the top issue because of a high number of sex trade workers in the DTES of Vancouver. These
ideas will have to be implimented as soon as possible with no delayed. But because I have heard all of this before, it has
not been possible because of no leaders willing to take the responsibility.
