Where’s the Evidence Programme
A forensic science programme geared to the evidence and investigative unit in the grade six science curriculum. Currently, the programme offers three crime scenarios. One is a series of break and enters in Calgary based on an actual case from the early 1950s (and includes some of the original evidence). The second is a modern homicide, which has proven to be a challenging and exciting programme for students. The third, and the newest scenario, is based on an Internet luring incident.

Helping Children Learn About Healthy Relationships Programme
This programme, which has been approved by Alberta Learning, has been designed for teachers of grades four and five, and addresses specific outcomes from the Health and Life Skills curriculum. Students will learn about the main types of abuse, the importance of identifying feelings and emotions, strategies for dealing with anger, and the impact of healthy and unhealthy communication styles in relationships with others.
Domestic Abuse and Family Violence Exhibition
Professionals estimate that one in five school-aged children is witnessing or experiencing domestic abuse. The Calgary Police Service receives up to 900 calls per month related to domestic conflict. Children who visit this exhibit will learn about the dynamics of an abusive home and why the victimized partner tends to remain in the relationship. The two most important messages for youth is that, first, no one has to tolerate abuse of any kind. Children have rights, including the right to seek help. Secondly, abuse in the home is not their fault.
The Mobile Domestic Abuse and Family Violence Exhibit
This travelling exhibit can be delivered and assembled for schools, trade shows and any other venue wishing to prompt discussion around the issue of domestic and family violence. The exhibit – a ten-foot square “kitchen” containing text panels, interactive components and statistical information – provides the three-dimensional and experiential components that serve as excellent teaching tools.
