Odd Squad Productions

Produces documentaries, educational presentations, and peer-to-peer workshops to educate and empower youth to make healthy choices around drug use and risky behaviour, including gang involvement. Delivers public education to students, parents, teachers, and community groups using a reality-based approach to promote the value of prevention and education in keeping youth safe, and in educating the public about the effects on the community of high-risk behaviour.
