Gangs in Canada

Okay kiddo, so gangs are groups of people who stick together and usually do bad things like selling drugs, hurting others, and breaking the law.

Some gangs in Canada have names like the Hells Angels, the Bloods, and the Crips. They might wear certain colors or symbols to show they belong to the gang.

Gangs can be found in different parts of Canada, but they mostly exist in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.

Gangs often recruit young people who may feel like they don't have many choices or opportunities in life. They might promise these young people protection, money, or power.

But being in a gang is very dangerous. Members can get hurt or even killed if they get in trouble with other gangs or the police. And if someone wants to leave the gang, they may face threats or even violence from their former comrades.

So, it's important to stay away from gangs and find positive ways to spend time, like playing sports or being part of a club. And if you see someone in trouble or being pressured to join a gang, tell a trusted adult like a teacher, counselor, or parent.
