Shameem Khan is starting her first year at Red Deer Polytechnic this September and has loved the nine years that she lived in the central Alberta community. Angie Cuero of the Ubuntu Youth Council hopes Red Deerians will listen to the perspectives of BIPOC youth on all civic matters. Red Deer RCMP told CBC News that these types of offences are taken very seriously and people are urged to report them. It's also important to find community within a community, says Angie Cuero of the Ubuntu Youth Council, which celebrated its first anniversary this month. The organization seeks to empower youth in central Alberta, specifically those among the BIPOC community.
