Kids experience first-hand how the Calgary Police Service INVESTIGATE crimes,
deal with crime-related issues and respond. YouthLink Calgary is a unique chance
to go deep inside the world of police and the crimes they face YouthLink Calgary
is a hands-on centre that can teach and INFORM our youth on some of the
big issues they deal with today: drugs, violence, internet predators,
gangs, bullies and more. Our goal is to INVOLVE as well as educate through
activities and sometimes shocking interactive exhibits. Kids are invited
to get into uniform, get fingerprinted, or see the outcomes of poor
decisions. Allowing kids to experience and INTERPRET what they see and
understand the real-life consequences of crime-all in a hands-on learning
environment - gives them the right tools they need to make the right choices, and demonstrates how fulfilling tomorrows for youth are built
on sound lifestyle choices today.
