Constable Christopher Graham, M.S.M. (Retired)
Vancouver, British Columbia

Retired Vancouver Police constable Christopher Graham created a reality-based program for Junior A hockey players to learn about the dangers of drugs and crime. Participants tour Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside where they witness first-hand the effects of substance abuse and gang-related activities. In their home communities, the teens visit school classes to describe what they have learned about life on the streets. Now part of the Odd Squad Production Society, this peer-to-peer mentorship program continues to inspire young people to make positive lifestyle choices.
