Odd Squad Productions Society is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization, created in 1997 by seven Vancouver City Police Officers. Our goal is to empower youth to make positive life choices about drug use and criminal behaviour through educational material as well as documentaries. Today’s youth face difficult choices, enormous peer pressure, and more readily available and potent mind-altering drugs than at any other time in history. Furthermore, we aim to educate the public about the devastating effects that high-risk behaviour has on members of our community. We are located in Vancouver, and thus, have a close connection to the streets of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver and know what it’s really like for some people in the area. We use these often horrific stories at the forefront of our productions that are used to educate youth and stem change. Due to our success, have reach throughout Canada and even internationally. Odd Squad Productions Society has delivered our messages through award-winning and thought-provoking documentaries, educational presentations and peer to peer workshops which includes our highly effective Junior Hockey Mentorship Program. Odd Squad Productions Society is also working on creating awareness for social media addiction. We feel that this is a pressing issue and will only increase as technology is becoming an even greater part of our lives. Furthermore, we use a reality based approach to educate people in order to tackle some of the worst social issues threatening our communities today. Odd Squad Productions Society firmly believes in the value of prevention and education in order to keep our youth safe.
