“It was very difficult to choose the 36 youth who would participate,” says Const. Randy Randhawa, the South Asia liaison officer with the Calgary Police Service Diversity Resource Team.
“Ultimately, we wanted to make sure we had a diverse group of young people from all ages and genders, who were interested in learning how to golf.”
Following the pilot program, Calgary police and town plan to discover future alternatives to offer classes for youth.
