EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

National Crime Prevention Week 1987, from November 1-7, 1987, focused on substance abuse and the role that youth can play in crime prevention. Each year since 1983, the Ministry of the Solicitor General, in cooperation with community groups, police, business, governments, and professional and voluntary associations, sponsor a week highlighting crime prevention activities. The province of Alberta and the Northwest Territories have been active participants in this Week for the past five and three years, respectively. This year there was an increase in interest and participation by communities throughout the two regions. The key this year appears to have been cooperation, primarily inter-agency cooperation in the south and inter-generational cooperation in terms of youth-elder programs in the north. Inter-agency cooperation was ever prevalent in the Albertan crime prevention campaign, fram the Medicine Hat 'Youth Waves II - Police and Youth Together We Can Make a Difference' Conference and 'Myths and Realities About Crime' Conference in Red Deer to Albertans for Crime Prevention Workshops in Red ter and an inter-agency crime prevention 'mixer' in Edmonton. In all cases throughout the province police departments and R.C.M.P. detachments played a significant role in either networking with other crime prevention agencies or offering their services and expertise in lectures and mall displays. Geographical representation and crime prevention awareness touched every quadrant of the province. A provincial crime prevention youth conference called Youth Waves II - Police and Youth Together ïe. Can Make a Difference was hosted by the Medicine Hat Police Service, in conjunction with the Solicitor General of Canada. The event, attracting three hundred and ten youth from across Alberta, focused on teenage suicide, family violence and victims, and substance abuse. Three days of crime prevention discussions, exchanges, and fun, from October 30, 1987, to November 1, 1987, kicked off National Crime Prevention libek in Medicine Hat. Albertans for Crime Prevention, a communications network whose provision was to unite police and volunteers through Alberta, met in two workshop sessions. Once prior to the Week and a second time on November 1, 1987, in conjunction with the Crime Prevention Awards ceremonies. The November 1st workshop, for crime prevention volunteers and professionals, saw workshops on various aspects of the topic substance abuse and highlighted two innovative crime prevention activities which sprung up in 1987. These activities were the production of the video "The Last Party" by Students Against Driving Drunk in Pincher Creek and Echo Mortal, a teenage theatrical group working with the Sherwood Park R.C.M.P., who address impaired driving issues through short skits. 2

Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Awards were presented this year to CHED Radio Station for their extensive and innovative campaign against impaired driving; Edmonton Police Venturers, a police group who put in numerous hours of volunteer time preparing an anti-bicycle theft campaign and participating in 'Park Watch'; Edmonton Cooperative Policing Program was rewarded for strengthening the ties between the business community and the Edmonton Police Department; and Pat Truchan for her exceptional volunteer contribution to the Edmonton Block Parent Association. The Northwest Territories approached their third National Crime Prevèntion Week awareness through traditional mall displays and school talks, as well as through youth-elder programs. Due to the makeup and distribution of this northlands population, it was deemed necessary to approach crime prevention from an unconventional manner, that of youth-elder programs. Yellowknife, Inuvik, Fort Smith all had crime prevention poster contests and school talks to highlight this Week. In Prelude Lake, a youth conference took place for youth from around the Territory. The conference, hosted by the Y.W.C.A. and the Solicitor General of Canada, was entitled Act Locally... Think Globally. Speakers from the R.C.M.P., Sir John Franklin High School in Yellowknife, and the Coordinator of Teenagers Against Crime (T.A.C.) from Standoff in southern Alberta met and facilitated sessions at the conference. The youth-elder programs for Natives of the region approach crime prevention through sodlal development. In a region where people of Dene and Unuit descent form the majority of the population, frustration and boredom, possibly caused through cultural alienation, is common. Feelings, it is theorized, which have led to criminal activity. It is to this end that we address crime prevention in the Northwest Territories. Elders taught the youth some cultural traditions in their Native languages to help the youth gain some cultural identity. Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Awards were presented to the N.W.T. Mental Health Department in Inuvik for their batterers' program and to Kingait Aulatsivik in Cape Dorset for their program dealing with alcohol, drugs, and young offenders. Overall, National Crime Prevention Week 1987 in Alberta and the Northwest Territories was a success with many new and innovative activities and programs arising and an increase in the number and distribution of people interested and becoming aware of crime prevention practices. 3

INTRODUCTION National Crime Prevention Week 1987 was celebrated from November 1-7, 1987. Now in its fifth year, National Crime Prevention Week (NCPW) is beginning to be recognized as a significant activity in the criminal justice system. This year there was an increase in interest and participation by communities throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories. The key this year appears to have been inter-agency cooperation, with agencies and organizations in various communities working together to produce activity agendas for National Crime Prevention Week. In all cases the local police departments and R.C.M.P. detachments played a significant role in either networking with other crime prevention interested agencies or offering their services and expertise in lectures and mall displays. National Crime Prevention Week %ms designed to promote awareness and participation in crime prevention. It is also the time when individuals and organizations who have made outstanding contributions in the field are recognized for their efforts and time. Geographically speaking, participation in the Week came from communities over a wider area than in past years. Northern Alberta was more active in promoting crime prevention awareness during the Week than in previous years. Each year a theme is chosen for National Crime Prevention Week activities. This year substance abuse was chosen to be highlighted by both the Solicitor General of Canada in a national campaign, as well as by Albertans for Crime Prevention. This theme provided focus for those crime prevention programs that help to combat crimes relating to the use of illegal drugs and the misuse of those drugs that are legal, especially alcohol. Although the theme was substance abuse, other crime prevention programs were promoted and recognized during the Week. Re-occuring sub-themes were youth and peer pressure. Community-based policing has not been mentioned as a theme; this is because the whole philosophy and approach to the Week by this Region is community-based involvement (policing). The following report is a summary of the many activities which involved National Crime Prevention Week 1987 in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. ALBERTA

I 4 ALBERTA:

SOLICITOR GENERAL OF CANADA CRIME PREVENTION AWARDS The Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Awards nomination forms and background information were distributed to over 150 organizations in Alberta. These included municipal police forces, R.C.M.P. detachments, municipal governments, and a variety of crime prevention organizations. Twenty-one nominations were received from Alberta. Committee members from Albertans for Crime Prevention, a communication network whose provision is to unite police and volunteers throughout Alberta, met in Edmonton to decide the order of merit of the Alberta nominees. The nomination forms were rated from one to twenty-one and then sent, along with the N.W.T. forms, to Ottawa for a resolution. It was decided that three organizations and one individual would receive this year's plaques in Alberta. At a ceremony held in Red Deer on November 1, 1987, CHED Radio Station, the Edmonton Police Venturers, the Edmonton Cooperative Policing Program, and Pat Truchan were recognized for the new and innovative ideas they have brought to the crime prevention field and/or the many hours of service work they have contributed to helping prevent crime in their neighbourhoods. (See Appendix I%) CHED Radio Station of Edmonton was awarded for its extensive and innovative campaign against impaired driving, which included a special radio commercial produced and distributed by CHED to other radio stations at no cost. The Edmonton Police Venturers, a police youth group, put in numerous hours of volunteer time preparing an anti-bicycle theft campaign and participating in Park Watch, a crime prevention program in the municipal parks. The Edmonton Cooperative Policing Program, involving a partnership between 175 Edmonton businesses and the Edmonton Police Department, was rewarded for strengthening the ties between these two groups in a joint effort to prevent crime. Initially, four individual Cooperative Policing nominations were submitted, but it was decided that the award would be bestowed on the whole organization. Each of the four men nominated, Jim Henry from Eatons Stores, John O'Connor from Sears Kingsway, Harvey Rasmussen from Wbodwards Stores, and Harry Shute from London Drugs, received a plaque. Pat Truchan received her award for her exceptional volunteer contribution to the Block Parent Association of Edmonton, whom she served in a number of executive positions since 1975. These awards were presented by Alison Molloy, A/Regional Consultant with the Consultation Centre (Alta-NWT), Ministry of the Solicitor General. Prior to the crime prevention award ceremonies, Albertans for Crime Prevention held workshops addressing this year's national and provincial theme of substance abuse. Accompanying the workshops was the demonstration of two innovative activities communities have produced to address crime prevention. 5

Addressing substance abuse, Sergeant Clare Gill fram the Calgary R.C.M.P. Drug Section gave a technical presentation on substance abuse in Alberta focussing on drug abuse. Darlene Gartner, from the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, spoke about community-based drug abuse prevention programs. This was followed by a presentation by Allan Phibbs, with the Law Enforcement Division, Alberta Solicitor General, on the community-based response to impaired driving. (See Appendix B) The two innovative crime prevention projects highlighted at the workshop were: 1) a film entitled "The Last Party" produced by a group of teenagers in Pincher Creek, Alberta, in response to the death of a classmate in a traffic accident related to drinking and driving; and 2) a teenage theatrical group called Echo Mortal who address impaired driving issues in a series of short skits. This one-day combined workshop and awards ceremonies was attended by approximately 300 crime prevention volunteers and professionals. The day began at 10:00 a.m. with opening remarks by Inspector Pearson, Officer Commanding, Red Deer Sub-Division R.C.M.P. Closing remarks were by Allan Phibbs, Chairman of Albertans for Crime Prevention, winding the day off at 4:30 p.m. and officially 'kicking off' National Crime Prevention Week 1987.

1987 PROVINCIAL CRIME PREVENTION YOUTH CONFERENCE The 1987 Crime Prevention Youth Conference was held October 30 - November 1, 1987, at the Medicine Hat Lodge in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Entitled Youth Waves II - Police and Youth Together Wé Can Make a Difference, this event kicked off National Crime Prevention Week in Medicine Hat. Three hundred and ten delegates from around the province gathered to listen to and discuss crime prevention topics as they related to youth. (See Appendix C) The focus of the conference was substance abuse, underlaid by how to deal with peer pressure. The following is a summary of the structure and content of the conference: Committee Structure: This Crime Prevention Youth Conference was hosted by the Medicine Hat Police Service and was organized by a committee which consisted of police personnel, educators, and local students. The Youth Conference Planning Committee believed strongly that the young people of Medicine Hat participate in planning the conference. Care was given to make sure that youth concerns were addressed at the conference and not just adult perceptions of contemporary youth concerns. To reflect this sentiment the committee nominated two chairpersons. Constable Barry Unreiner and student Michelle Hof co-chaired the planning committee and conference, representing police and youth working together. The committee structure was set up in a two-tier fashion with subcommittee chairpersons under the co-chairpersons. Each subcommittee, in turn, organized a particular aspect of the conference drawing on whatever resources and manpower they needed. 6

Registration: This year a registration fee of fifteen dollars was charged to help defer the costs of putting on such a large event as a provincial crime prevention youth conference. Delegates came from across Alberta with approximately fifty-five percent of the students coming from locals outside of Medicine Hat. Registration for the conference by local students was done through school guidance counsellors. The out of town registrations were coordinated through the R.C.M.P. detachments, "K" Division, and the Solicitor General of Canada. Students were sent the registration forms and medical waiver and asked to fill them out and return them directly to the Medicine Hat Police Service. (See Appendix D.) The conference was attended by youth from High Level, Assumption, Grande Prairie, Sexsmith, Beaverlodge, Fort McMurray, St. Albert, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Calgary, Pincher Creek, Grande Cache, Brooks, Redcliff, Redwater, Standoff, and of course, Medicine Hat. Facilities: The conference was held at the Medicine Hat Lodge, chosen for its size and swimming amenities. The rooms were very comfortable with four delegates booked into each suite. The rooms were assigned at random prior to the conference's commencement. All of the out of town delegates and a few special guests rooms were booked by the committee before the conference. Alew local delegates booked rooms at the hotel and were found to cause some problems. The meeting facilities were adequate, having sufficient space for the lectures and interaction sessions, dining, and hospitality. The meals were judged to be substandard throughout the conference with the exception of the Saturday evening banquet meal. They were a serve-yourself and smorgasbord style. Supper on the registration evening was donated by Burger King.

Chaperones and Observers: The chaperones at the conference were primarily teachers, police, and committee members. Each out of town group consisting of more than two people was expected to bring chaperones. The conference committee paid for the chaperones' registration fee of fifteen dollars, and their meals. Unlike last year, these individuals were responsible for their own accommodation. In the future, the responsibilities of the chaperones should be made very clear. It would be beneficial to outline in a letter the items the committee will financially cover and the items the chaperones are expected to cover themselves. The late evening bed checks were done by members from the Medicine Hat Police Service, the Solicitor General of Canada, and the R.C.M.P. 7

A few individuals attended the conference as observers. These people had their registration fee covered by the committee, but were responsible for their own meals and accommodation. Meal tickets were available for purchase of conference meals. Again, in the future it would be beneficial to have the financial responsibilities of observers addressed prior to the conference. Transportation: Transportation to and from the conference was the responsibility of the delegates. The majority of out of town delegates, 55%, arrived by Coach bus with only a few flying into the local airport. Police from the Medicine Hat Police Service shuttled the delegates to and from the airport. Gino Vannelli arrived on Saturday morning on the R.C.M.P. airplane from Calgary with the Deputy Solicitor General of Canada, Mr. John Tait, and Alison Molloy, Acting Regional Consultant. Corporate Sponsors: The corporate community in Medicine Hat was very supportive of the youth conference, with sixteen organizations contributing to the event. Cancarb Ltd. and Alberta Sports provided funding for Gino Vannelli, the guest speaker; Burger King provided one complimentary meal; Amalgamated Beverages and the Medicine Hat Milk Foundation supplied soft drinks and milk throughout the weekend. A few sponsors contributed to the conference with cash donations: 7-Eleven Convenience Stores, Dominion Glass Limited, Goodyear of Canada Limited, The Printer, the Optimist Club of Medicine Hat, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Southeastern Alberta Community Resource Centre, City of Medicine Hat, Town of Redcliff and Jack Stephanson Pontiac Buick Limited. Workshops: The conference began with a superb performance by Echo Mortal, a theatrical group from Sherwood Park. Using the 'Collective Process', fifteen youth and their directors, produced a theatrical production to increase youth's awareness of the potential dangers of alcohol and impaired driving. This group is a product of the Strathcona County R.C.M.P. Crime Prevention/Police Community Relations Unit - Constable George Koszegi and Deborah Hurford. The delegates were very impressed with this group's presentation. The actors and actresses in the production were also delegates at the conference so the other students were able to interact freely and discuss ideas with these teens. Echo Mortal was the only scheduled event for Friday evening as out of town delegates continued to arrive. The rest of the evening was allowed for late check-ins and poolside fun. 8

The second day, October 31st, began with opening remarks by Constable Barry Unreiner and Michelle Hof, co-chairpersons of the conference. Their remarks were followed by inspirational camments and best wishes by the Honourable Jim Horsman, Attorney General of Alberta, Inter-Governmental Affairs (Medicine Hat Riding), Garry Benson, Associate Regional Consultant, Ministry of the Solicitor General of Canada, Allan Phibbs, Assistant Manager of Law Enforcement, Alberta Solicitor General, and Ted Grimm, Mayor of Medicine Hat. WOrkshops officially began at 9:00 a.m. The workshops addressed three major crime prevention areas - family violence, teenage suicide, and substance abuse as it relates to peer pressure. They were presented in three distinct formats - panel discussion, lecture, and audience interaction. All three sessions were held in the morning then duplicated in the afternoon, so that the 310 delegates could attend all three sessions. A theatrical group from Medicine Hat called 'Inter-Act' presented a two-part audience interaction production called "It's Your Party". The group's goal was to encourage youth to find positive ways of dealing with life's situations. Through acting out skits the actors and actresses invited the audience (delegates) to call out possible solutions to the problem in which the actor found him/herself. By way of the title, "It's Your Party", this group addressed peer pressure and how it can lead to substance abuse, how the lack of self-esteem can lead to substance abuse, how substance abuse can lead to criminal activities, and how there is a tendency towards progressive experimentation with substances, for example, beer - hard liquor - cannabis - resins - cocaine - crack - and so on. Following the drama presentations, the youth were subdivided into six small groups of approximately 25 people, with one Inter-Act person and an assigned animator for each group. The animator led a follow-up workshop, with the activity focussing on identifying positive behaviour alternatives in the context of specific situations. This participational production was very well-received by the delegates. They felt that they could truly explore how they themselves would respond if put into the real-life situation that had been simulated.

Mike Maclin,_a suicide prevention cousellor from Lethbridge Family Services and former R.C.M.P. officer, gave a lecture on teenage suicide. The session covered the possible signs of a person who may commit suicide, how one can help someone who they suspect may commit suicide, and some of the reasons teens commit suicide. A short film was shown depicting three youth who had attempted suicide, one, unfortunately, successfully. It was the youth planning committee who suggested that this topic be addressed at the conference. There was much discussion on what signs to look for and how to help a friend suspected of thinking of doing away with himself. 9

A panel discussion took place on family violence with representatives from Child liblfare, Mary McCulley; Family Services, Howard Friessen; libmen's Shelter, Lori Cooper; Victim Services - Edmonton Police Department, Barry Kaye; and a victim. This subject area is very sensitive and thus took awhile for the delegates to accept and listen to the panel. The victim was an invaluable addition to the panel, as she was a victim of sexual abuse and family violence from an early age. She told her story to the youth while the panel watched the audience. This session proved to be very emotional for many delegates. Following this presentation, the victim was approached by a number of youths who disclosed personal situations. The students were surprisingly candid with the questions to her and the panel in general. After the workshop was over, this session generated much discussion amongst the delegates. A press conference was held with Mr. John Tait, Deputy Solicitor General.of Canada, and Gino Vannelli, rock star and recording artist, talking about youth drug abuse and the conference.

Mr. John Tait, the Deputy Solicitor General of Canada, was the guest luncheon speaker, along with Alison Molloy, A/Regional Consultant (Alta/NWT), Ministry of the Solicitor General of Canada and Chief Palardy of the Medicine Hat Police Service. Mr. Tait welcomed the delegates to the conference and shared some thoughts about youth and their future. He also extended best wishes on behalf of the Honourable James Kelleher, Solicitor General of Canada, who %ms unable to attend the conference. The afternoon sessions were the same as the morning sessions, thus allowing the delegates to attend all of the workshops. Saturday evening began with a banquet dinner featuring Gino Vannelli as guest speaker. Gino Vànnelli is a recording artist who, in the spring of 1987, began a personal campaign on 'Say No To Drugs'. Gino Vànnelli walked down from the head table podium to be among the delegates when he spoke with them. Vannelli expressed a genuine, sincere interest in the students as he spoke about the importance of setting goals, believing in yourself and being yourself, picking your friends carefully, and ultimately saying no to drugs and alcohol. Drawing a very contemporary picture of the music industry today compared to the 1960's, he emphasized the role computers play in composing today's tunes. He continued to say that to be an artist that can program, compose, and create one must use one's mind, a mind that is clear of all mind-altering substances. Vannelli told the delegates that most recording artists he knows do not use drugs. His message was very clear: take control of your life and say no to drugs. The artist's quiet, composed demeanour only added to his credibility. (See Appendix E) The evening ended with the delegates dressing up for a beach party dance, which lasted until 1:00 a.m. Sunday was the last day of the event. Some delegates left as early as 5:30 a.m. in order to attend the Red Deer Albertans for Crime Prevention conference. - 10 -

The conference ended after Sunday breakfast with a talk from Chief R.A. Palardy of the Medicine Hat Police Service. The Chief spoke about the emphasis the police are placing on crime prevention and working with youth to combat criminal behaviour. He also spoke, as did Gino Vannelli, about the importance of self-discipline and setting personal goals. An excellent feature of the conference was the presence of student moderators. Each of the guest speakers' introductions and questions in the workshops were moderated by students. There was a very real sense that this conference was for students by students.

Plaques were given to all the guest speakers and lecturers thanking them for their time and contribution to the success of the conference. Conclusion: Overall the conference went very well. It provided an environment which stimulated and encouraged teens to think seriously about family violence, suicide, and substance abuse. The conference provided a place to network and share crime prevention ideas with other groups. A number of examples can be cited, but a few will suffice. A group called Teenagers Against Crime (T.A.C.) from the Standoff Blood Indian Reserve who run a volunteer program to help report and prevent crimes on their reserve, met with some delegates from the Assumption Reserve in Northern Alberta to talk about the possibility of starting a T.A.C. type group in their community. T.A.C. met with the Edmonton Police Venturers to see if there were any ideas they could incorporate into their program to enhance their effectiveness. Students from Redwater and Fort McMurray had already set up interviews in their communities to stimulate interest in setting up youth crime prevention groups. Grande Prairie gained a new enthusiasm for youth crime prevention initiatives.

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK - NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE This year, the first National Crime Prevention Youth Conference was held in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Beginning on November 4th, approximately seventy youth between the ages of twelve and nineteen gathered on the Island for five days. Six students from the Alberta-N.W.T. region attended the conference. Active crime prevention communities in the province and territory were asked to submit names of students who could stand as candidates for the National Youth Conference to the Consultation Centre. The students must have been involved or interested in crime prevention, able to speak out in a group, been between the ages of fourteen and seventeen (though there was some leeway here), possess leadership qualities, and consent to stay with an Island family. Six students who most closely matched these criteria were chosen to attend the conference. Heather Murphy from Edmonton, Shae Zukiwsky from Pincher Creek, and Candy Manychiefs and Joey Wéaselfat from Standoff were the Albertans chosen to attend. Aimee Phillpot from Yellowknife and Deedee Steinwand from Rae attended from the Northwest Territories. (See Appendix I) - 11 -

The delegates were asked to prepare a talk about crime prevention in their communities to share with the other delegates in P.E.I. Shae Zukiwsky, in particular, prepared a talk on the video "The Last Party", which was produced by teenagers in Pincher Creek. He facilitated a workshop session with a moderator at the conference.

A11 the students arrived in Edmonton the evening of November 3rd and were billeted with members of the Edmonton.Police Venturers. The next morning all met at the Edmonton Police Department and were taken to the airport. - Airfare for the trip was paid for by National Headquarters and the Consultation Centre. The Blood Band in Standoff paid for one student's full airfare and the Department of Justice in the Northwest Territories paid for one full airfare.

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK - MEDIA The goal of this year's National Crime Prevention Wbek public awareness campaign was to reach the greatest number of people possible. In order to do this, five areas were concentrated upon. Corporate advertising, weekly newspaper advertising and articles, radio broadcasts of public service announcements and talk shows, mall displays, and community and school lectures. Corporate Advertising on a province-wide scale was elicited from McDonalds Restaurants of Canada and Lucerne Foods Limited. McDonalds Restaurants of Canada supported National Crime Prevention Week through advertisements on their food tray liners. McDonalds Restaurants in Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Lethbridge, and Red Deer provided some recognition of this Wéek. (See Appendix F) In Edmonton, the Edmonton Police Department, in conjunction with the Solicitor General of Canada, provided tray liner artwork for the Week. Lucerne Foods Limited agreed to print a National Crime Prevention Week message on their milk cartons for the leibek. Unfortunately, at the time of printing, the NCPW advertisements were misplaced amongst some Winter Olympics '88 advertisements and were not printed.

In Edmonton the Brick Warehouse advertised National Crime Prevention Wéek at the completion of their television advertisements - this was initiated by the Crime Prevention Unit of the Edmonton Police Department. For future reference, if Canadian Tire Corporation Limited, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Girl Guides and Boy Scouts of Canada are desired to participate in National Crime Prevention Wéek, they must be approached by April of that year. Lucerne Foods Limited should be approached in July and McDonalds Restaurants of Canada at least two months prior to the November printing. - 12 -

Media Kits - The basic media kits, with information about National Crime Prevention Wbek, were initially prepared in Ottawa leaving space for material relevant to each region and local. Kits were targetted towards the television medium, radio stations or newspapers. They contained a letter to the Editor/News Director or Director, the "Co-operation Works" poster, "Five Facts About Drugs" pamphlet, "Crime Prevention" pamphlet, pre-written crime prevention articles, camera ready artwork, media releases, and a letter of invitation to the Albertans for Crime Prevention WOrkshop and Crime Prevention Award Ceremonies. There were three types of articles included in the kit - the Wëek and its goals, crime prevention information, and crime prevention philosophy. Each kit was tailored to the community to which it was being sent by including a list of specific events that were happening in that community, media releases relevant to the local region and local National Crime Prevention Wbek agency contact people. This type of a media kit was a success for the scope of information it contained was useful to a variety of media outlets. Localizing each kit is a very good idea. (See Appendix G) Newspapers - Daily and weekly newspapers were chosen as channels to disseminate information. Media kits were sent to nine daily newspapers in Alberta and thirty-one weekly newspapers. Daily newspapers are not always thoroughly read, but provide excellent coverage for media release type articles: In contrast, the weekly newspapers are often more thoroughly read and the material is better absorbed than in the city dailies - possibly because of their shorter length and frequency. The kits were sent to five weekly newspapers in the Northwest Territories. Radio Stations - Radio stations are an excellent way of advertising for an event or relaying a longer message to the public, especially in rural areas. Radio advertisements were used extensively this year. Crime Prevention Media Kits were sent to fifty-four radio stations in Alberta and one in the Northwest Territories. In Edmonton, CHED Radio Station, which won an award for its impaired driving campaign, produced generic crime prevention radio spots and distributed them, free of charge, to nine radio stations in Edmonton. These stations enthusiastically agreed to air the spots. On the local ethnic radio stations, crime prevention public service announcements were aired. The Edmonton Police Department Multicultural Relations Unit wrote the announcements, had them translated, and aired on sixteen ethnic stations. Alison Molloy, A/Regional Consultant, and Garry Benson, Associate Regional Consultant, spoke with the media during National Crime Prevention Wéek. Molloy spoke with CKCJ Radio in Fort McMurray about the Wbek in general; Benson spoke to CJOK Radio in Lethbridge about the Medicine Hat Youth Conference and National Crime Prevention Week in general, with CBC Inuvik about the Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention award recipient - the NWT Mental Health Association, and to CBC Iqaluit about the Solicitor General of Canadian Crime Prevention award recipient - Kingait Aulatsivik. -13-

Television Stations - This year there was little coverage by the television stations. Media kits were sent to nine television stations in Alberta. Only the CBC French network requested an interview. The Red Deer television station CKRD covered the Crime Prevention Awards Ceremony in Red Deer on November 1 - the coverage emphasized the provincial awards and contribution to National Crime Prevention Week mentioning little of the federal contribution. Overall, media coverage of National Crime Prevention Week was concentrated in southern Alberta. Contributing to this may have been the fact that the provincial Crime Prevention Youth Conference was held in Medicine Hat, that three of the four delegates from Alberta to the national youth conference were from that area, and that what has become a much scught after video, "The Last Party", originated in Pincher Creek, a town in the southwestern part of the province. (Appendix H) Media coverage in Edmonton focused mainly around radio spots, newspaper advertisements, and the National Crime Prevention libek television tag on the Brick Warehouse commercials.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

CALGARY The Calgary Block Parents Association mounted a new idea for National Crime Prevention Wbek this year. The group decided to have the children thank the numerous Block Parent volunteers in the City of Calgary. This was achieved through a Block Parent "Thank You" colouring sheet. (See Appendix J) The colouring sheet was coloured by elementary school age children and dropped off at homes displaying Block Parent signs on the way home from school. Checks were in place to ensure children did not deviate from their usual travel route. The sheets were first distributed to the Block Parent Community Coordinators who in turn approached school principals, Cub and Brownie leaders, and so on. Overall response to the colouring sheets was very positive. The Block Parents were delighted that someone had taken the time to say thank you. The general response from the school principals was pleasing. A rather unexpected, but rewarding, reaction was that several Block Parents who received thank yous sheets, but who had not been displaying their signs frequently in their window, have now started using their signs more often. COALDALE National Crime Prevention Week 1987 for the town of Coaldale was organized by the Coaldale Chapter of Albertans for Crime Prevention Committee and the Coaldale Police Department. The two groups work closely together. - 14 -

Coaldale undertook a number of activities this year for National Crime Prevention Week, including a child identification clinic, a lock-it-or-lose-it project, crime prevention video showings, a bicycle identification clinic, a parent drug awareness night, a Neighbourhood Watch/Block Parents information session, and school talks.

The Child Identification Clinic focussed on the actual identification of the child, however, overall safety for children was addressed due to the fact that it was Halloween, Crime Prevention Wbek posters and reflective jack-o-lantern stickers were handed out to the students. Lock-It-Or-Lose-It was an anti-vandalism project where two members of the Coaldale Police Department patrolled the town on foot checking for unlocked vehicles. Of the 216 vehicles which were checked, 96 had been left open. Unlocked vehicles received a letter telling them that their vehicle could have been vandalized.

The Parent Drug Awareness Night featured speakers from AADAC and the Coaldale Police Department showing adults how to cope with problems of drug abusive youths. As well as a lecture, the facilitators showed a relevant video and handed out substance information. Unfortunately, very few people showed up, but the ones who did were very interested and concerned. A Neighbourhood Watch/Block Parents Information Night was arranged so as to encourage Coaldale citizens to form a Neighbourhood Watch Program. The night was successful as a number of people showed a definite interest in beginning a Neighbourhood Watch program. Many Block Parent applications were also received.

Crime prevention video tape sessions and tables were set up during the Week at the two local grocery stores. This is a high traffic area. Crime prevention talks were given in three local high schools. During the talks, Constable Romanchook showed the video "The Last Party" from Pincher Creek. This video stimulated a lot of concern and discussion.

During the libek, citizens were encouraged to stop by the Coaldale Police Department and have their bicycles marked and/or stop by for a tour of the Department. Kindergarten children were given a tour of the Department during the Week. FORE MCMURRAY

The Fort McMurray R.C.M.P. detachment was the primary organizer of crime prevention activities in this northeastern Alberta community. A crime prevention art contest was held for elementary students and school talks on safety and drug abuse were given to both elementary and high school students. The local radio stations, CJOK and CKYX, announced crime prevention tips throughout the Wbek and interviewed a member of the R.C.M.P. detachment. Mall displays with crime prevention information were set up in Peter Pond Mall and in Plaza II. - 15 - GRANDE PRAIRIE Inter-agency cooperation was the key to the support Grande Prairie had for National Crime Prevention Week. The R.C.M.P. detachment and the John Howard Society contacted a number of crime prevention related agencies to form an active crime prevention committee. Fourteen agencies worked cooperatively on NCPW 1987; they were the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, Native Counselling Services of alberta, Native Counsellor Training, Native Friendship Centre, Golden Age Society, Central Park Lodge, Odyssey House, Cool Aide, Providing Assistance, Counselling and Education (P.A.C.E.), Alberta Transportation, Alberta Motor Association, John Howard Society, and the R.C.M.P. Events were planned in the Muskoseepi Park Pavillion each evening from November 2-7, 1987. November 2nd began with a National Crime Prevention Week General Information Night showing two videos on substance abuse; November 3rd held two workshops - one on Addictions and Family Violence and the other on Impaired Driving; November 4th organized two workshops - one on Native Addictions and another on Criminal Justice; November 5th lectures were on Substance Abuse and Youth/Youth Impaired Driving, and on Parental Involvement and the Young Offenders Act; November 6th was Senior Citizens Night; and November 7th was the day which saw crime prevention displays set up in Town Centre Mall. In addition to the above-mentioned agencies, the County Police and Rural Crime Watch also set up displays at the Mall. Agency response was excellent throughout the Week, however the public response was less than expected. Grande Prairie This Week and the Daily Herald-Tribune, the two local newspapers, eagerly covered the Week's activities. An agenda of the Week's activities was pLiblished in the newspapers and aired on the radio, highlighting the activities of each particular day. An agenda of the National Crime Prevention Week activities was televised on the local television station all week long. Representatives from the R.C.M.P. and AADAC appeared on a ninety minute radio talk show, speaking about crime prevention and substance abuse and crime prevention in general. Public service announcements were read on the radio each day as were crime prevention tips. PEACE RIVER Sharron Harry, a counsellor at AADAC, liaised with many groups in Peace River, Grimshaw, and Fairview organizing events for National Crime Prevention Week. On October 22, 1987, the Catalyst Theatre group from Edmonton performed "Zeke and the Indoor Plants". The play is participational. It is aimed at junior high school students and focuses on the development of learning skills, dealing with peer pressure, understanding responsibility, and gaining trust. Throughout the play the audience is challenged to think and participate in possible solutions to situations which are presented. Alcohol and drug use are addressed in the play. "Zeke and the Indoor Plants" was commissioned by AADAC in response to a demand from Alberta communities to address peer pressure, alcohol and drugs. This play was used to 'kick-off' National Crime Prevention Week in the Peace River Country. - 16 -

Peace River R.C.M.P. arranged for a crime prevention mall display and safety lectures in the schools during the 1Piéek. Betty Stubbing from the Lions Quest program expected the Lions Quest program to enter the schools at the beginning of November, but the schools were not quite ready for it.

FAIRVIEW

National Crime Prevention Wbek was successful in Fairview. On October 19, 1987, the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission brought in the Play "Zeke and the Indoor Plants" to the schools. The play was very well received and set the stage for the upcoming National Crime Prevention 1,bek. Five crime prevention and substance abuse talks were given to junior high and senior high students of St. Thomas More High School. There was a tremendous amount of interest in these lectures which were given by Constable Ballantyne from the R.C.M.P. and Sharron Harry for AADAC. To conclude this special week, a one-day lecture session was held called "Kids and Drugs", a program for parents with young children. This session was facilitated by AADAC at the Fairview Community College.

SPIRIT RIVER The Spirit River R.C.M.P. detachment organized some school visits in and around Spirit River during National Crime Prevention Week. A crime prevention poster contest was held in each of the county schools for grades 1-3 and 4 - 6. PINCHER CREEK Pincher Creek is a very progressive community with much support and participation in communal activities. Their involvement in crime prevention activities has been, and is, ongoing with the production of the video "The Last Party". The residents recently started a Block Parents Association and they are becoming very involved in the Lions Quest program sponsored by the Lions Club. "The Last Party" video was created by the Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) group in this town. The video was made in response to a local teenager being killed in an impaired driving accident. It is very professionally done with the actors and actresses having been friends of the girl who was killed. Their year round concern and involvement has been a model for other communities in Alberta. Unfortunately for National Crime Prevention Itiek, no specific activities were organized. Students from this town attended the Medicine Hat Youth Conference and the National Youth Conference in Prince Edward Island.

C.F.B. COLD LAKE Captain Dickson and Corporal Tarbet set up a crime prevention information booth in Medley. The information pertained primarily to substance abuse and impaired driving. Two Military Police persons were available at the display to answer questions. - 17 - SPRUCE GROVE Constable Jules Nokohoo is looking after National Crime Prevention Néek for this R.C.M.P. detachment. A, mall display and two crime prevention poster contests for elementary students took place during National Crime Prevention Néek. MEDICINE BAT Aside from the conference "Youth Waves II - Police and Youth Together Wre Can Make A Difference", the Medicine Hat Police Service set up a crime prevention display in the Medicine Hat Mall. The display included information on the various crime prevention programs in Medicine Hat, crime prevention information in general, and a police car. RED DEER The community of Red Deer in central Alberta was very active in National Crime Prevention Week. The John Howard Society, directed by George Atkey, acted as a catalyst in the city to bring groups who work in the crime prevention field together. Three major activities took place during the Week - a conference, mall display, television show. The John Howard Society organized a group call Crime Preventioh 365, which consists of members from nine agencies - Block Parents, the Red Deer Optimist Club, the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, Family and Community Services, the R.C.M.P., Sunset Lioness, Central Alberta Nbmen's Emergency Shelter (CANES), Central Alberta Sexual Assault Centre (CASAC), and the John Howard Society. These agencies worked on the Red Deer National Crime Prevention Nbek 1987 initiatives. They have also undertaken two projects which began as NCPW activities, but soon proved to be much bigger than a National Crime Prevenion Week activity. These are an impaired driving campaign and "crime proofing" the nearby resort community of Sylvan Lake. A one-day conference was organized by the John Howard Society entitled "Myths and Realities About Crime". Two hundred and sixty people were in attendance from across Red Deer with delegates from community agencies, junior and senior high schools, Red Deer Community College, and the general populace. The morning program began with a keynote address by Howard Sapers, Provincial Executive Director of the John Howard Society of Alberta. He set the tone of the conference with a lively speech entitled "Myth Busting". Two workshops were held in the morning. One was entitled "Open Custody" and was presented by Stephen Soucy of Red Deer's Youth Residential Centre. The second workshop was facilitated by an inmate fram the Inmate Speakers Bureau at the Bowden Institution. This second session was filmed by CKRD television and interviewed by The Advocate, the local daily newspaper. Both workshops were well attended and the people who attended the sessions found them very interesting. The "Open Custody" workshop was the most popular at the conference. - 18 -

The afternoon held two sessions as well, beginning with a keynote address by Gordon Yake, a Crown Prosecutor with the Judicial District of Wétaskiwin. He spoke about "Trends in Criminal Justice". The workshops following the opening remarks were poorly attended, mainly because the afternoon was a Professional Teachers' Day and the students had the afternoon free. Joan Murphy and Debra Lynkowski from Edmonton spoke about the Youth Emergency Shelter (YES) and youth who became involved in crime. The second workshop, facilitated by John Johnston fram the Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer, involved a presentation about the Keystone Club of Waskasoo.

The registration/information form was developed and distributed to agencies and institutions in Red Deer. The form outlined the participant's choice of sessions for the morning and afternoon and was included in the agenda package after being completed and returned by the registrant. Folders for the agenda package were donated by the Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, pens and note paper by Central Trust of Red Deer. Posters, pamphlets, and delegate NCPW buttons from the Solicitor General of Canada were also included in the package. Many organizations participated in the one-day crime prevention mall display at Bower Mall on November 3, 1987. The R.C.M.P., Sunset Lioness Club, Aid/Suicide, Block Parents, the Red Deer Optimist Club, Community Services, Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, Central Alberta Sexual Assault Centre (CASAC), Central Alberta Women's Emergency Shelter (CAWES), and the John Howard Society grouped their displays in the serre area of the mall to increase the impact of the Wbek. The displays exhibited a 'Did You Know...' poster. Each organization filled a crime prevention message pertaining to their organization in the blank space after 'Did You Know...'. This year Red Deer made full use of public service announcements to advertise National Crime Prevention Wéek and the "Myths and Realities About Crime" conference. Shaw Cable Television of Red Deer was contacted by several agencies with crime prevention slogans and tips. Operators of static and electronic signboards were approached and many displayed crime prevention messages during the Week. A local drycleaners displayed "Let's Clean Up On Crime".

The local television station, CKRD, was quite involved during the Week, featuring a short special on the conference and allowing the whole week for crime prevention interviews on the noontime talk show "Dialogue". Eight Red Deer agencies took turns being interviewed on the program. Finally, the radio station CKGY announced crime prevention tips periodically throughout the Week. - 19 -

EEMONTON National Crime Prevention Week was a success in Edmonton, with many people joining crime prevention activities. Senior Citizens:

The number of senior citizens in Canada has been increasing over the past few years and with it an emerging awareness of the group's needs. No needs which National Crime Prevention Week addressed are substance abuse education and personal and home safety education. An article on substance abuse and seniors was written and distributed to local senior citizen newspapers and complexes. Seniors who may have experienced the loss of their career, family, friends and/or partners oftentimes abuse substances such as alcohol or prescription drugs, intentionally or unintentionally. Due to the fact that these people are older, the problem is sometimes ignored or mistaken for senility or aging by both the abuser and/or their companions. Three senior citizens homes/apartment blocks in Edmonton entertained a session on substance abuse and seniors just before, during or just after National Crime Prevention Week. The Edmonton Society for the Retired and Semi-Retired, Canterbury Court (a senior citizens lodge), Meadowcroft Apartments (a senior citizen apartment), all hosted sessions on substance abuse and seniors. This lecture was facilitated by Bill Beach, a consultant with the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission. Beach showed a film entitled "Alcohol, Drugs and Seniors: Tarnished-Dreams", followed by a discussion period. These sessions were moderately attended. It was noted that the residents were often hesitant to acknowledge that they or a friend had a problem, but usually came to a group consensus that such problems sometimes exist with their friends. Fear of being victimized is common among the elderly population, even though they are rarely the target of crime when compared to other age groups. This is not to be minimized, for the consequences of victimization are often more severe for seniors than for younger people - relative financial loss and injury. A workshop educating this group on some crime prevention measures and on some statistical information may serve to reduce their perceived and real fear of being victimized. Montgomery Legion Place, Meadowcroft Apartments, the Society for the Retired and Semi-Retired, and Pine View Horizon Village (St. Albert) all held workshops on personal and street safety. The sessions used films and were facilitated by members from the Edmonton Police Department in Edmonton and by the R.C.M.P. in St. Albert. Edmonton Police Department: The Edmonton Police Department was very active in National Crime Prevention Week, liaising with many local businesses, media outlets, and volunteers. Promotions: The Edmonton Police Department was very assertive in advertising National Crime Prevention Week this year. They prepared and mailed out eighty-nine information packages requesting businesses to get involved in National Crime Prevention Week and to tag a piece on their business advertising highlighting the Week. - 20 -

The Department received positive responses from Weight Watchers of Alberta who inserted a National Crime Prevention Week message in their newsletter; The Bay tagged National Crime Prevention Week on their advertisements, as did Windspeak Plains Auto Centre, Kensington Beauty and Barbershop Limited, Western Industrial Laboratories Limited, Cammunity Systems Development, Indian Association of Alberta, Nechi Institute on Alcohol and Deug Education, 630 CHED, Safeway Flyer, 1070 Gold-AM radio, Resource News, Edmonton Journal, McDonalds Restaurants. Other information and articles were provided to the Legal Resource Centre Newsletter, Ministream and By the Way. CHED Radio Station, who won the federal Solicitor General of Canada award for an innovative "If you drink, don't drive" campaign, prepared generic radio spots announcing the Week, supplying copies free of charge to nine different radio stations who enthusiastically agreed to air the spots. The radio stations which received the announcements were CHQT 880, 92.5 KING-FM, 1200 CFRN, 930 CJCA, K-97, CISN, CHED, CFCW, K-Lite. Members of the Edmonton Police Department were interviewed about National Crime Prevention Week on two local radio stations - 1070 Gold and CJCA Nightline Show. The Multicultural Relations Unit arranged for the printing of two crime prevention pamphlets. The first outlines the Block Parent and Neighbourhood Wàtch programs in eight languages. Printed solely by the Edmonton Police Department, it is written in English, Italian, Polish, Vietnamese, Spanish, Punjabi, Chinese, and Hindi. The second pamphlet was co-sponsored by the Ministry of the Solicitor General of Canada and the Edmonton Police Department. This pamphlet defines crime prevention and explains how people need to work together to prevent crime. Again, this pamphlet is printed in the eight languages mentioned earlier. (See Appendix K) In addition to the pamphlets, a radio announcement was aired in sixteen different languages. This included one Native radio station. (See Appendix L) The City of Edmonton's Risk Management and Security Branch set up a .display at City Hall during the Week promoting "check vandalism". There was an impressive display of various pieces of property which had been vandalized, and attached to them the cost of replacement or repair. Included in the display were a vandalized telephone booth, bus seat, and parking meter, as well as photographs of disturbed cemetery sites, gravestones, and wall grafitti. Accompanying the display were two 'Security Awareness' presentations in the Council Chambers in City Hall. The University of Alberta Campus Security planned numerous crime prevention activities for the Week, but unfortunately, two weeks prior to National Crime Prevention Week, a large computer theft ring was uncovered as well as an onslaught of smaller crimes, taking all the energy from the University security force and channelling it into criminal investigations. - 21 -

One of the biggest media breakthroughs with the Edmonton Police Department - Crime Prevention Unit was the Brick Warehouse coming on-line with Neighbourhood Wàtch. On October 26, 1987, just prior to National Crime Prevention lieek, a press conference was held announcing this merger. Crime reporting information, crime prevention philosophies, and Neighbourhood Wàtch strategies are now being given to the Brick Wàrehouse truck drivers and swampers. Overall there will be between 100 and 120 radio equipped vehicles working in Edmonton, carrying Neighbourhood Wàtch trained employees. Throughout the lAbek, the Brick Wàrehouse tagged their television advertisements with a National Crime Prevention Wbek/Neighbourhood Watch addition. In December, 350 Edmonton Telephones employees are also being trained as Neighbourhood Watch volunteers in much the same manner as the Brick Warehouse employees. The Edmonton Police Department, with the Ministry of the Solicitor General of Canada, set up mall displays in West Edmonton Mall, Southgate Shopping Centre, and Northwoods Mall. The mall displays were set up for the seven days of National Crime Prevention Week and manned by volunteers. Crime prevention information and philosophies were available for the public. The 'Youth - Making a Difference', 'Do-It-Yourself Kit', and '5 Facts About Drugs' pamphlets were very popular. Less popular was the '5 Ways You Can Be a Partner In Preventing Crime' pamphlet. The three popular resources mentioned above for National Crime Prevention Wéek were requested in bulk by many youth organizations. The malls provided good exposure to a cross section of the population. Each mall raffled two stuffed animals. There is proof that such 'gimmicks' draw people's attention to a booth and serve as a means to approximate the number of people who visit the display. Both of the posters, the 'Co-pperation Wbrks' poster printed by the Ministry of the Solicitor General and the 'Partners In Preventing Crime' poster printed by the Alberta Solicitor General, were well-received by children, students, and teachers. On November 4, 1987, the Solicitor General of Canada, in conjunction with the Edmonton Police Department, hosted a 'Community Agency Mixer' involving twenty-five different government and community agencies. Most of the participating agencies were involved in the victim assistance field. Over 135 people attended the mixer and agreed that it was a very important information and networking function which should be an annual affair. The last event of National Crime Prevention 4kek was the Volunteer Appreciation Night on November 8, 1987, at the Regency Hotel. ain, this event was co-hosted by the Edmonton Police Department and the Solicitor General of Canada. This event, which was attended by approximately 300 people, honoured volunteers who assisted in National Crime Prevention Wéek events and in crime prevention in general. - 22 -

Positive Action Against Pornography: Sonia Sobon is the project coordinator of this group. They set up crime prevention/anti-pornography information tables at Londonderry, Southgate, and HUB Malls during the Wreek. The group was somewhat disappointed with the response they received at their booths. This was the first time that they had set up displays in mall environments. ADT Security: ADT of Edmonton printed National Crime Prevention Wbek bus posters. They began to appear on the Edmonton Transit buses on Octdber 16, 1987.

CONCLUSION It is evident that there is a growing awareness of the crime prevention concept. For the most part, communities are supportive of the idea of community-based crime prevention and have shown a desire to work cooperatively with representatives of the criminal justice system. A few, however, still see crime prevention as a police function. It seems necessary that at least one organization in a community initiates a meeting for many of the crime prevention related agencies to get together and share ideas, programs, and expertise. It is through coordinating bodies such as Albertana for Crime Prevention that committees in communities can be kept informed of crime prevention events and practices internationally, nationally, and regionally, but still be able to observe the innovative programs and projects they wish to initiate locally. Provincial workshops involving crime prevention professionals and volunteers have proven themselves as excellent places for introducing and sharing innovative projects that have been created in other communities. The theatrical group from Sherwood Park, Echo Mortal, and the video from Pincher Creek, "The Last Party", are two excellent examples of what communities have done in the name of crime prevention. The Teenagers Against Crime (T.A.C.) group provided inspiration for other youth, especially Native youth on reserves to take control of their lives, their problems, and to form a group to combat crime. The two Albertans for Crime Prevention workshops and three crime prevention conferences that Alberta was involved in this year have provided some impetus for further crime prevention programming in Alberta communities.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES:

INTRODUCTION The third annual National Crime Prevention Wbek 1987 was celebrated from November 1-7, 1987, in the Northwest Territories. It was coordinated by Wéndy Morrison of the Arctic Public Legal Education and Information Society in Yellowknife, in conjunction with the Solicitor General of Canada Consultation Centre in Edmonton, Alberta. With their third year of involvement, the Northwest Territories has established itself as an active participant in National Crime Prevention Wéek.

As with the province of Alberta, the Northwest Territories adopted the National Crime Prevention Wbek theme of substance abuse. The approach, however, to introducing and heightening crime prevention awareness in this northland is, by and large, quite different from the southern provinces. Due to the physiographical, cultural, and linguistic isolation experienced in this region, it was deemed necessary to design crime prevention awareness programs fitting to the communities and population. This year a concentrated effort was made to heighten crime prevention awareness in a large number of arctic communities. Traditional activities such as mall displays and crime prevention poster contests were used as tools to increase wareness, alongside a more unconventional method of approaching crime prevention, that is through social development. This less conventional approach took the form of youth-elder programs during the Week. The rationale for such an approach will be broached later in this report. The following information is a review of the National Crime Prevention Wêek activities in the Northwest Territories:

PRE-NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK PLANNING Prior to National Crime Prevention Week 1987, the Northwest Territories Crime Prevention Committee met to discuss activities for the upcoming Crime Prevention Wéek. The committee was chaired by Judy Cross, now past-director of the Arctic Public Legal Education and Information Society. Members of the committee were Sue Heron-Herbert (N.W.T. Native Courtworkers Association), Heather Nolsoe (N.W.T. Education), Kathy Mullaly (Government of N.W.T., Justice), George Inman (R.C.M.P.), Mary Hunt (R.C.M.P.), Joanne Erasmus (Dene Nations), Wayne Balanoff (Indian and Northern Affairs), and Winny Frazer-McKay (Government of N.W.T., Social Services). It was this committee which felt that the best overall approach to crime prevention awareness in this region should be through youth-elder programs. In a region which is undergoing the process of acculturation, cultural alienation has been recognized as a prOblem which contributes to crime. The committee felt it was important to choose representative communities from both indigenous groups of people - the Dene and the Inuit. Snowdrift and Rae/Edzo were the chosen Dene settlements and Coppermine and Iqaluit exemplify Inuit communities. - 24 -

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES Youth-Elder Wbrkshops: The population of the Northwest Territories today is different, in many respects, from that of Canada as a whole. This is a natural consequence of its comparative isolation and differing historical evolution from the provinces to ,the south. In general terms, the Northwest Territories population is sparse in relation to the land mass it occupies, still largely rural, young, and composed of essentially two major ethnic/cultural elements - Native and non-Native. Eighty percent of the population in the Territories live outside of Yellowknife and ninety percent of those are of Native origin, either Dene or Inuit. The Northwest Territories at present is the only Canadian jurisdiction in which people of aboriginal descent form the majority of the population. In this region youth-elder programs were chosen as a method of teaching and initiating crime prevention thought and action. The Native population was the recipient and host of these programs. For the purpose of explaining the rationale behind offering this type of workshop/program, a regional profile is necessary to describe the environment which spawned such an approach to crime prevention. This approach is known as crime prevention through social development. The following will briefly describe the physiographical and linguistic/cultural characteristics that define the northern people so that it can be seen why crime prevention has taken the form of community-tailored, youth-elder programs. The total area of the Northwest Territories is 3,376,698 square kilometers (1,304,903 square miles), or about one third of the total area of Canada; approximately equal in size to India. It is the most sparsely populated region of Canada, in fact, less than 0.2% of the nationel population resides there. Four very distinct physiographical areas comprise this territory - the Canadian Shield, the Plains, the Innuitian (rugged mountains of the Arctic Islands), and the Cordilleran region (mountain barrier along western part of the continent). The vast distances, formidable terrain and climate, and sparse population restricts movement and travel within this area. Airplanes and radios have made penetration into the isolated areas much easier in recent history, but by and large movement is not easy. Added to this is the very high cost of travel which often makes it prohibitive. A meager road network has been constructed in the Western Arctic, but the Eastern Arctic still relies almost totally on air travel. These physiographical related characteristics have kept the communities small and the people separate. Language and culture also impose and maintain a separateness amongst the Native peoples themselves and the non-Native population. Forty percent of the people in this region have a northern Native as their mother tongue. Within the northern Native languages there are four Dene languages - Chipewyan, Dogrib, Slavey, and Loucheux, and two distinct Inuit dialect groupings - Inuktitut and Inuvialiklun. In the past people were nomadic, their individual languages and cultures did not pose a problem to any one group for the nomadic groups were totally self-sufficient and need not rely on outside things. No problem until, that is, the Amero-Europeans and missionaries traveled to the north and set up schools, churches, and the like. This forced many Natives to move into settlements. - 25 -

Once living in settlements the western way began quickly to encroach on the Native lifestyles. Settlement living became more popular as families settled down to be near their children who were attending schools. Residing in one place, however, was and is not conducive to many traditional lifestyles. People became bored. They did not have to fill their days with hunting for supper and shelter for the night. In communities people learned to bu:y their food, buy their transportation, and buy their entertainment. Today few settlements in this region exceed two hundred people, hence it is difficult for communities to develop viàble economic structures. Most of the isolated settlements must rely strictly on the local resource base and infusions of government money. This results in a people who are economically poor and a situation where their self-esteem and self-worth becomes eroded. Earning and living or rathern having a job to do gives a person a sense of purpose and pride. Acculturation has begun - conventional western ideas are filtering into the cultures and the Native people are having to adjust their lifestyle somewhat to fit the dominating society. For at least the last fifty years, the Native communities have had to try and adapt their lifestyle somewhat to fit that of the increasingly dominating western non-Native society. Ironically, the majority of the Northwest Territories population is of aboriginal descent, however because economically the non-Native population is stronger than the Native population and a non-English language acts as a barrier on the North American continent, the non-Native population has emerged as the dominant society. A society which has a different value system. Values are different, language is different, orthographics are different, and perceptions are different. Confusion and frustration emerge as the two value systems conflict. For example, in the Inuit culture a criminal act is one which is committed against the whole group of people or their property whereas in western society an act is considered criminal if it violates a person or property. Frustration grows as more and more outside influence conflicts with aboriginal values and ways in which the young are raised. The Native youth in the north are experiencing cultural alienation. They are caught between the traditional Native world and the ever-encroaching non-Native society. English radio and newspapers are commonplace - a frustrating situation for those who are unilingual. The laws of the land are defined in western (English) judicial terms, incompatible with Native laws. Many youth go to English schools and watch satellite television. The television and school presents the youth with mind-boggling amenities and opportunities, but the communities in which they live often present them with physical, economic, and psychological barriers to the rest of Canada and the world. They are straddling both cultures, learning and living a bit of each, but not wholly being part of either one. Language, common ancestry, and cultural traditions promote a strong feeling of belonging and cohesiveness. The cultural traditions form the focal points of most kinds of social interactions - group identity, friendship, marriage partners, recreation, business, and the political system. These interactions help create a person's self-esteem, - 26 - self-worth, personal identity, and personal confidence. Unfortunately, this is being eroded by the sifting together of the two cultures - Native and non-Native. It is felt that this erosion of their cultural identity together with the seemingly opportunity desert that may appear to exist in isolated communities is a cause of discontentment, frustration, boredom, and depression. It is theorized that these feelings contribute to criminal activity - vandalism, theft, substance abuse, spousal abuse, and so on. It is to this end that we address crime prevention programs in the Northwest Territories. The youth-elder programs conducted in the Native tongue and cultural traditions of the hosting community are designed to address these feelings of alienation by providing the youth with firsthand knowledge of their aboriginal culture. The workshops will also give the youth some tangible alternatives to criminal activity. Language embodies values, beliefs, and perceptions. The workshops are tailored thusly to each community. It is felt that having the elders teach the youth traditional activities such as skinning caribou, having respect for the land, and traditional laws that the youth will acquire a stronger cultural identity, more respect through knowledge for their heritage, thus increasing their self-respect, self-esteem, sense of responsibility, ultimately affecting tendencies towards criminal activity and substance abuse.

COPPERMINE (a community of western Inuit located on the northern coast of the Northwest Territories mainland) held a conference for young people in August, drawing youth from six communities in their geographic and linguistic region. The National Crime Prevention Wbek workshop funding for this community was applied to the overall costs of this conference. Problems of drug and alcohol abuse were among the topics discussed as well as improved opportunities for youth in both occupational and educational fields. As the conference closed, resolutions were passed petitioning the territorial government for increased Native language and cultural instruction in the schools along with the establishment of a Territorial Youth Minister and Secretariat. Elders were present at the week long gathering, demonstrating to the delegates traditional skills and practices - illustrating that viable and practical alternaives do exist to alleviate the chronic boredom and lack of activities which young people feel are endemic to the high rate of youth in conflict with the law. SNOWDRIFT is a small Dene community on the far eastern shore of the Great Slave Lake, with a population of approximately 250, the majority of whom speak Chipewyan. A newly organized youth committee used this community's workshop funds to hold a weekend camping trip for twenty young people between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five. Along with the young people, local families went along to promote the spirit of people working together within the community. In small, isolated communities which lack the recreational and institutional opportunities available elsewhere, it is important that young people are aware that matters which affect them are of equal concern to all members of that community, and solutions to the problems of youth are as much a responsibility of family members and neighbours as they are of the young people. Their trip was planned for the weekend of November 7-8, 1987, but due to adverse weather conditions was postponed until the following weekend. - 27 -

IQALUIT is a large community at the base of Baffin Island. It serves as the administrative and transportation centre for all of Baffin Island's government and commercial services. With a population of more than 2,500 it is the largest community in the Eastern Arctic. Over half of the residents speak Inuktitut and a large proportion of those are unilingual. It is to these populations that delivery of National Crime Prevention Wêek materials in their own languages and relevant to northern lifestyles is important. Maliganik Tukisiniakvik is a legal services centre located in Igaluit who offered to act as a go-between with the Elders committee and the National Crime Prevention Week Coordinator in Yellowknife. There is no member of the elders committee who speaks English and Maliganik TUkisiniakvik employs a full time interpreter. The elders committee plans to hold a series of public meetings or 'forums' to discuss the problems of solvent abuse among young people in Igaluit. the first meeting was held November 2, 1987, and included representatives from all community organizations, government agencies, and the business community along with concerned parents and community members. The outcome of these meetings is to raise public awareness of solvent abuse - to inform parents of symptoms and to encourage local businesspeople to restrict access to solvents. As well, through these meetings, alternatives for young people who turn to solvents as a solution to either emotional problems or boredom will be achieved. Funds budgeted for a community workshop in Igaluit will be applied to the costs of meeting hall rentals, interpretation and translation services, advertising, and promotion. RAE/EDZO is actually two small communities located at the far northern end of Great Slave Lake and on the territorial highway system. Both communities are less than a 125 km drive from Yellowknife. The population is almost entirely Dene and the language spoken is Dogrib. The Rae/Edzo workshop was organized by the community's drug and alcohol counsellor. There is a group of young people who have past experience with substance abuse who meet regularly and work with the drug and alcohol counsellor. National Crime Prevention Week funding allowed them to turn one of their weekly meetings into a larger event, with participation from the R.C.M.P., elders from the local senior citizens home, and speakers from Yellowknife. The school cooperated and on November 5, 1987, a day-long workshop was held. Both speakers and participants were bussed between the two communities and a rare treat - Kentucky Fried Chicken - was imported from Yellowknife. Young people were encouraged to speak of their past experiences with drugs, solvents, and alcohol, as well as suggesting alternatives or activities which could replace their use. As these meetings are part of an ongoing program, National Crime Prevention Week was used as a means of expanding the regular meeting into a community. A poster contest was held, entries portraying crime prevention activities which were meaningful in their community, and films were shown throughout the week to all members of the public. -28-

Y.W.C.A. YOUTH CONFERENCE This year the Young Itibmen's Christian Association of Yellowknife, in conjunction with the Solicitor General of Canada, held a youth conference in Prelude Lake just outside of Yellowknife. The conference, entitled Act Locally... Think Globally, was held from November 6-8, 1987. (See Appendix N) Students from Yellowknife, Gjoa Haven, Holman Island, Hay River, Detah, Fort Rae, Fort Simpson, and Fort Providence were in attendance - twenty teenagers in all. The main purpose of the conference was to address the needs of youth, to provide an opportunity for youth to exchange ideas on topics relevant to their needs, to offer information to youth expanding their awareness of current issues and future opportunities, and to form a youth group. Addressing these topics were Allan Eli, talking about crime prevention youth groups; Gary Turrell, R.C.M.P. - Crime Prevention; Dave Grundy, R.C.M.P. - Substance Abuse; Donna Gibson, Adjusting to Life Away From Home; and Dave Matthews, Peer Counselling. Allan Eli spoke about how to organize a youth group citing examples from the group he organized in Standoff, Alberta. Eli coordinates Teenagers Against Crime (T.A.C.), a crime prevention group organized for youth by youth. He told the delegates how he obtained first-aid training, CPR training, and fire safety training from the R.C.M.P., Fire Department, and St. John's Ambulance. Eli, 18 years old himself, explained how youth who form groups can become fundraisers and receive patent numbers which they can furnish to various contributing companies for income tax purposes. Teenagers Against Crime is a very successful crime prevention youth group. Eli provided inspiration to the delegates by proving that collectively youth can accomplish many goals with much support. Garry Turrell from the R.C.M.P. spoke about crime prevention in a very fact-oriented presentation. From the cost perspective to the reality of a criminal record. He also explained to the youth the various law and law enforcement related jobs and educational opportunities available. The delegates enjoyed the presentation. Dave Grundy from the R.C.M.P. spoke about drug abuse. He presented facts about drugs, used a sample drug kit to show the students what forms the different drugs take, and described the effects of each substance. The students found this presentation very interesting, discussing and debating the topic of drug abuse for a time. There was some interest in the legal ramifications of using and/or abusing drugs. Donna Gibson facilitated a workshop on adjusting to life away from home. The youth discussed the things they felt they had to cope with living away from home versus living at home. Key points of the workshop were the importance of planning and keeping a positive attitude while adjusting to new surroundings. The delegates felt that this session was okay, but not appropriate for the conference. - 29 -

Dave Matthews and Carmen, a school counsellor and youth from Sir John Franklin School, gave a workshop on peer counselling. Peer counsellors are trained in a weekend workshop and then must meet every Viédnesday evening for updates and additional training. The counsellors learn to work with their peers in talking about sexual diseases, depression, suicide, pregnancy, and so on. The delegates were very enthusiastic about the program and were eager to learn more about it. In conclusion, the youth conference was a success. There was a good exchange of ideas and the delegates were very open in discussions. On return to Yellowknife the delegates formed a youth group called 'Icebreakers'...

OTHER ACTIVITIES There were a number of other National Crime Prevention Wbek activities held in the Northwest Territories. In Inuvik, the R.C.M.P. held a seminar for local businesspeople on shoplifting - how to handle shoplifters in your business and preventative actions to avoid the possibility of shoplifting. In Yellowknife the public library made space available for the display and distribution of National Crime Prevention libek materials. They also directed interested individuals to areas in the library where related materials were shelved. As Yellowknife was the location of the Northwest Territories Coordinator, it was possible to set up an information booth in one of the local shopping malls for the duration of National Crime Prevention Wbek. The booth was stocked with National Crime Prevention Week materials as well as related materials from the R.C.M.P., Block Parents, P.R.I.D.E., the Yellowknife Native Friendship Centre, Northern Addication Services, and the N.W.T. Family Counselling Service. Block Parents sponsored a National Crime Prevention Week colouring contest in both Yellowknife and Fort Smith. The contest was held in the schools of both communities for grades kindergarten to four. In Yellowknife, Block Parents donated and awarded prizes by classroom in each school. In Fort Smith, prizes were donated by the Lioness Club, the Hudson Bay store, and the R.C.M.P. Prizes there were awarded to four winners in each of three age groups. In Inuvik, one of the larger communities in the Northwest Territories, an open ' forum meeting was held at the school with members of the R.C.M.P. and other organizations discussing substance abuse amongst the students. An informal coffee session afterwards allowed participants and spectators an opportunity to talk amongst themselves to organize activities or deal with specific concerns. - 30 -

In many of the smaller communities activities took a less structured form. A meeting of the recreation committee and the school teacher may have been the only formal result, but the outcome of such a meeting will have long term effects if regular supervised activities are planned with the young people of the community and the whole community becomes involved with an ongoing program. Materials are now available in these communities through a variety of sources for people who have a need of information on substance abuse or crime prevention.

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK - MEDIA Media coverage in the northern region took the form of newspaper articles and advertisements as well as radio interviews and public service announcements. Specifically, the coverage centered around the community workshops, the recipients of the Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Awards, and the delegates who attended the National Crime Prevention Wéek Youth Conference in Summerside, P.E.I. A very important part of this year's National Crime Prevention Week campaign was the production of crime prevention radio tape messages. To enable all northern communities to participate in National Crime Prevention Wbek activities, a radio tape was produced and translated into eight indigenous Native languages. They were Inuktitut, Inuvialuktun, Loucheux, North Slavey, South Slavey, Chipewyan, and Dogrib. (Appendix 0) While most communities in the Northwest Territories do not have either CBC or private radio stations, they do have a small transmitting facility known as a community radio station with a broadcast range no greater than their community boundary. These stations are often used to hold on-air discussions of topics that are of interest to the community at large. National Crime Prevention Wéek and substance abuse are issues which fit this criteria. The tape was kept short and concise, merely suggesting possible resources or organizations within the community. A community member with experience in substance abuse counselling or dealing with youth was urged to host the tape and following open-line program. The onus was left with the community to decide what actions were most appropriate for their situation and how to implement them. Letters were sent to all organizations in each community, informing them of the audio tape, and the school (where nationally produced materials were sent) encouraging them to cooperate with one another to produce the most effective programs possible. This allowed delivery of individual National Crime Prevention Wbek programs to a large number of diverse communities within a relatively small budget. Translation of the audio tape into seven of the eight languages, taping of the script, and use of the government's territorial mail system allowed the tape to be produced at a fraction of its actual cost. Use of this type of materials provides a northern, regional element to the National Crime Prevention Week program. - 31 -

In Yellowknife, soie general items were carried prior to National Crime Prevention Week to heighten public awareness of the upcoming week's activities. During the week, Yellowknife CBC broadcast a number of interviews on the topic of substance abuse. An investigative piece was done on the state of criminal activity in a community that has recently become 'dry' or liquor-free. Individuals who work specifically with drug and alcohol abusers were interviewed and explained the physical damage and results of such abuse. CKNM, the Native Broadcasting Society's station, carried interviews with National Crime Prevention Week.participants in all five Native languages in their broadcast range. They also carried the audio tape in five Native languages and English throughout the week as a community service message. Iqaluit CBC Radio, in conjunction with the R.C.M.P., launched a Crime Stoppers campaign during National Crime Prevention Week. As part of this campaign a CBC reporter toured Iqaluit with a member of the R.C.M.P. on their daily duties. A radio documentary, "Policing Icialuit from a Police Perspective", was the outcome of this tour and aired as one of the Week's activities. CBC Inuvik covered National Crime Prevention Week much in the same style as Yellowknife. Interviews with community representatives involved with young people or drug and alcohol counselling were carried in both English and the three Native languages in the Inuvik region. Eight territorial newspapers carried National Crime Prevention Week items - The Yellowknifer, Native Press, News/North, the McKenzie Times, Tusaayaksat, Nunatsiaq News, Hay River Hub, and the Fort Smith Journal. The papers received media releases, articles, and camera ready artwork from both the Arctic Public Legal Education and Information Society and the office of the Solicitor General of Canada in Edmonton. Articles covered Block Parent programs, home protection, Crime Stoppers, and substance abuse. In Yellowknife follow-up articles have been planned to continue tracing the results of the youth conference hosted by the Y.W.C.A. in Yellowknife and by interviewing the two N.W.T. delegates to the National Crime Prevention Week Youth Conference. (For more information on the National Crime Prevention Week Youth Conference delegates, see NCPW Alberta - National Crime Prevention Youth Conference.)

MATERIALS

In an attempt to make National Crime Prevention Week an activity in all territorial communities, nationally produced materials were distributed throughout the Northwest Territories. Previously this has been done either through the Ottawa office or through R.C.M.P. detachments in each community. While the R.C.M.P. are an integral part of National Crime Prevention Week activities, their schedules may at times preclude pre-planned events. (In Yellowknife, a Supreme Court murder trial combined with the promotion and re-assignment of both Community Relations officers greatly reduced the R.C.M.P.'s abilities to participate.) - 32 - Posters, pamphlets, and community planning guides were sent to the school or junior high school in over fifty communities. (See Appendix B) Letters were sent to the principals, encouraging them to work with other organizations in their community (if any were available) to produce National Crime Prevention Week activities that included all community members and dealt with all of the community's needs. Letters were also sent to all community organizations informing them of the materials at the school and of National Crime Prevention Week.

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION FMK AWARDS - N.W.T. The Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Award nomination forms and background information was distributed to over thirty organizations in the Northwest Territories. These included municipal governments, R.C.M.P. detachments, and a variety of volunteer organizations. Two nominations were received from the Northwest Territories, one from Inuvik and the other from Cape Dorset. The two nominations were for community programs - a batterers' program in Inuvik and substance abuse treatment program for young offenders in Cape Dorset. (See Appendix P) On November 6, 1987, in Inuvik, the R.C.M.P., on behalf of the Solicitor General of Canada, awarded the N.W.T. Mental Health Association a Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Award for their initiation and development of a program for batterers. This program offers counselling and therapy to batterers in a three week or fifteen week program covering self-control techniques, self-awareness, the spousal assault cycle, and individual therapy sessions. It is the first program of its kind in the Northwest Territories. On November 14, 1987, in Icialuit, R.C.M.P. Inspector Iddins presented the Solicitor General of Canada Crime Prevention Award to Kingait Aulatsivik for their project dealing with alcohol, drugs and young offenders. The project offers a fine option program, preventing alcohol/drug related crimes by presenting the youth with alternate lifestyle opportunities such as recreational hunting, fishing, and other traditional experiences. Kingait Aulatsivik is an example of a Northern/Native approach to crime prevention in Native communities.

CONCLUSION The effort made to heighten crime prevention awareness in the Northwest Territories this year was successful. The mix of traditional mall displays and youth conference with the youth-elder program addressed crime prevention with both the Native and non-Native peoples.

ALTHOUGH THE THEME IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE, OTHER CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS ARE BEING PROMOTED AND RECOGNIZED DURING NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK 1987.

MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES IN ALBERTA WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION WEEK 1987. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE LOCAL ACTIVITIES, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT OR CONTACT ALISON MOLLOY, A/REGIONAL CONSULTANT, MINISTRY OF THE SOLICITOR GENER (ALTA-N.W.T.), AT (403) 420-2222.

SCRIPT FOR CRIME PREVENTION WEEK RADIO TAPE

November 1-7 is National Crime Prevention Week. Activities are taking place in communities across Canada to show what each person can do to prevent crime in their neighborhoods. What can you do to get involved? Think about it for a minute. Some people say crimes in the Nolthwest Territories are committed by people who get into trouble because they have nothing to do. Who do you think commits crime? If it's the young people, perhaps you could consider setting up recreational activities with them. If you have a community hall, maybe a committee could be formed to run a drop-in centre for youth. What about alcohol and drugs? Often, they play an important part in crime. It's a big social problem. But, like any other problem, every person can do something to make a •iifference. Is there alcohol and drug counselling available. Wuuld more education about alcohol and drugs help? Find out what you can do to get more information out to the people who need it. What about the elders? How can they help? They have knowledge and skills which could be useful. They remember how people dealt with .crime or vandalism in the old days. They can help young people to feel pride in themselves and their culture by sharing their time and experiences. Why not get the elders involved? Find out which resources are available in your community? Who can you call on for help or to provide information which will help you combat crime? Now is the time to discuss these ideas amongst yourselves. What can you do as a community to help those who commit crime or to make things better? You can help. Communities with radio societies which were sent the Crime Prevention Week audio tape. Also listed are the languages which were sent to each community in addition to English, those communities receiving tapes in Inuktitut did not receive an English version as Inuktitut is the only language used on community radio stations.
