•Abbotsford/Mission murder capital of Canada
ABBOTSFORD/MISSION (NEWS1130) - Police are now warning parents about the dangers of gangs. Just one day after Abbotsford-Mission was named the murder capital of Canada, police in that community are kicking off the next stage of their anti-gang initiative.
It's called "Operation Lodestar" and Constable Ian MacDonald says the Police Chief and the Mayor George Peary will be there for the first presentation at Bateman Secondary School. "We got in front of 16,000 high school and middle school students last year and told them some of the realities of the gang lifestyle, and we hope to impart some of that information to their parents."
A few hundred parents are expected to take part. StatsCan says last year in the Abbotsford-Mission region, there were nine homicides, giving that area the title of "murder capital of Canada"
