Fill out the survey and let your voice be heard As part of their Grade 6 science unit “Evidence
and Investigation,” the classes at Sacred Heart
Academy found themselves on the case on the
morning of June 2. Constable Steven Terry and
some co-workers from Calgary Detachment Po-
lice Unit set up mock crime scenes within the
school. The students were taught about proper
preservation of evidence and were told that you
needed to think outside of the box if you wanted

community vitality • economic growth • education to solve the crime. Raeanne Pettifer (l) carefully
bags evidence in a robber crime scene.
