This event was a tour of the Vancouver Police Museum including a hands-on crime solving kidnapping forensic workshop. The museum is in a heritage building that was once the Coroner’s Court, city morgue and crime laboratory. It offers numerous programs specifically designed to meet or supplement BC curriculum requirements in social studies, English language arts, history and law. 

 

This was a free event for educators in schools, museums, and heritage programs, as well as the general public. Participants were provided with a package of materials for lesson and program planning.
