Chris Brillinger: The programs should be a core part of the system, said Chris Brillinger, the citys executive director of social development, finance and administration, according to The Star. The province implemented a youth action plan after the Eaton Centre and Danzig shootings last year, providing funding for a number of initiatives such as summer and after-school job creation and more outreach workers to benefit all young people and City officials are asking the province to fund critical gang-intervention programs which are missing from a youth action plan put in place after gang-related violence in 2012 . We need to be more specific, more deliberate in looking at youth most at risk of violence and victimization, said Brillinger. Right now, those kids, they re not in the system.
