Odd Squad secured office space from Henderson Development in the new Tinseltown Mall at 516 Abbott St. After some major fund raising efforts, they put together a small production studio. Three directors left the squad and one new director was added, thereby maintaining an odd number of executives. After producing many small projects, many for the Vancouver Police Department, a good deal of expertise was developed on how to really shoot and produce high quality videos for educational purposes. Members of the Odd Squad have traveled across Canada presenting drug abuse awareness seminars to youth, using their powerful video footage and their work has been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, as well as on TV shows in Canada, in the U.S., and in Australia.

In 2002 and 2003 Odd Squad Productions teamed up with the Vancouver Police Department’s Collision Investigation Unit to produce two anti-speeding television ads (entitled Speeders Club 1 & 2) aimed at reducing the deaths associated with young drivers speeding. For the past several years, these ads continue to be broadcast on local television networks (Global / Chek / Court TV).

In the Fall of 2004, Odd Squad Productions completed a new documentary for the Department of Justice entitled The Revolving Door and the Road to Recovery. This moving story tracks the life of ‘Nicky’, a participant in the Drug Treatment Court of Vancouver, as she progresses through this unique and innovative program.

This year, Odd Squad members are on the move again, working on the sequel to Through A Blue Lens, a gritty and moving documentary on how life has unfolded for the addicts originally profiled. Once completed, Tears for April: Beyond a Blue Lens will have a huge educational role in high school classrooms, providing strong social marketing for youth on making positive choices.
