SPEAK OUT SASKATOON
2022
For over fifteen years, SCS Speak Out Saskatoon has been able to create a platform for students around the city to voice their concerns and questions to some very important decision makers. Our leaders have seen the importance of listening to the voices of our youth.
Thank you to everyone who made this event a success and we are already looking forward to next year!

On October 14th, 2022, over 80 high school students from around Saskatoon attended our annual Speak Out Saskatoon forum. The event creates an opportunity for students to ask questions and discuss issues faced by youth within their schools and communities.
In small groups, guided by RAP facilitators, the students were able to speak directly with six different dignitaries that included; Mayor Charlie Clark, Police Chief Troy Cooper, Fire Chief Morgan Hackl, MLA Marv Friesen, and Superintendents of Education Scott Gay and Colleen Norris. Saskatoon Crime Stoppers was honoured to have Mr. Allan Bonaise perform the morning song and Officer and Author, John Langan, as the Key Note Speaker.

Saskatoon Student Crime Stoppers:
2021 Poster Campaign
Saskatoon Crime Stoppers has been working with students since 1994 to encourage safer schools and communities. In March of 2021, we had the privilege of working with a Graphic Arts Class, from Bethlehem Catholic High School, on a poster campaign to promote the Crime Stoppers program.
This year, the campaign promoted students to focus on issues such as: the illegal possession of weapons and drugs, how to stay Cybersafe, Human Trafficking, and bringing awareness to missing teens in the Province.
"It is our hope that the poster campaign will be in more high schools by this fall to remind students that they have an important role in keeping our community safe."
- Vice Principal, Bethlehem Catholic High School.
Here are the finalists from the 2021 campaign:
