Safer Communities

Project Gang Proof

Manitoba has taken strong, decisive actions on its own and in partnership with community groups to address gangs. Gangs form in all types of neighbourhoods, and across all cultures and ethnic groups. The provincial government has developed a comprehensive coordinated response that focuses on dealing with gang issues and creating positive alternatives for Manitoba youth. These initiatives are enhanced by crime prevention programs, educational opportunities and community and economic development initiatives which help address social and economic challenges.

Project Gang-Proof is the province's written resources on gangs. It includes a:

Street Gang Awareness for Families and Communities (1Mb PDF)
Intervention Sheet (88Kb PDF)
Warning Signs and Prevention Tips for Parents and Families (125Kb PDF)
Violence is not the Answer poster (290Kb PDF)

The information contained in Project Gang-Proof is based on solid research and the advice of:

Manitoba Justice
law enforcement agencies
community members, agencies and youth
teachers
child and family services
