They have a great presentation infused with video clips on current drug trends that are impacting our youth. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the ODD SQUAD, they are a group of Vancouver Police Officers that created "Through a Blue Lens" a production that highlighted individuals living in the Downtown East side, "Stolen Lives", about the devastation of auto theft involving youth and the most recent, "Guns and Gangs" ,which digs deep into the culture of criminal gangs. I have all these DVD's in my office if you are interested! You can also learn more about the ODD SQUAD by visiting oddsquad.com. This presentation is open to everyone.

About Me

My photo
I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
