Youthlink Calgary Celebrates 30 Years with New Name
Youthlink Calgary Police Interpretative Centre has been officially renamed to the Calgary Police Discovery Centre, marking three decades of community engagement and education. The change reflects an evolution in the centre's mission to connect youth with law enforcement in innovative ways.
Since its founding in 1996, the centre has hosted thousands of students, offering interactive exhibits and programs that build trust and understanding between young people and police. The new name aims to emphasize discovery, learning, and positive interactions.
Officials say the rebranding will not alter the core programs but will allow for expanded outreach and updated exhibits. The centre will continue to operate at its current location, welcoming school groups and families.
The anniversary celebration included remarks from community leaders, police officers, and former participants who shared how Youthlink has impacted their lives. The Calgary Police Service expressed gratitude for the ongoing support and looks forward to the next 30 years under the new banner.
