CRIME PREVENTION CONTEST KICKS OFF IN SASKATOON

Released on March 25, 1999

Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Dwain

Lingenfelter today announced a contest sponsored by SGI CANADA aimed

at improving the attitudes of youth toward crime prevention.



"Insurance companies like SGI CANADA pay a price for criminal

behaviour including theft, vandalism and drinking and driving,"

Lingenfelter said. "We want to raise awareness of the costs of crime,

both to society and to the perpetrators. This contest will improve

youth attitudes toward crime by getting them to think about the

consequences before becoming involved in criminal activity."



The contest is open to students in grades 7 to 12 at public and

separate schools in Saskatoon. To enter, students are required to

depict why criminal behaviour is a bad idea by designing a poster,

producing a radio message or writing a 500-word essay.



"Unfortunately, there is a small group of youth who commit willful

damage and auto theft, and this paints an unflattering picture of all

young people," said Staff Sgt. Glenn Thomson of the Saskatoon Police

Service. "This contest aims to send a message from responsible young

people to their peers that there are better things to do than to

become involved in criminal behaviour."



The contest winners will be awarded a $750 prize pack from Family

Video or Sears. The winners' schools will each receive a $750

honorarium. The runners-up will get a $250 prize pack. Prizes

are awarded in each category - poster, radio and essay - in two

age groups - grades 7 to 9 and 10 to 12.



The contest is sponsored by 650 News Talk Radio, C95 and CKOM

radio stations.



The deadline for contest entries is 5 p.m., April 23, 1999.

Entry forms and full details are available at SGI.
