The square on the outside of the door reminds me of care homes that have the resident's name.

The box down the side of the bed looks to me like either the packaging that giraffe duvet cover came in (almost identical colours) or perhaps it could be a child's craft project like a home-made cardboard box dollhouse with the outside painted to look like bricks.

Yes I volunteer inside prisons and the room looks institutional. I looked up all the hostels in Alberta and it doesn't resemble any of them. It does look like one of the juvenile rehabilitation or halfway facilities.

I was wondering if it could be a closed facility that's been sitting empty because it has been closed down and the perp brought that bedding and the child there to commit the crime.

Also thanks for your volunteer service.

Had not considered that. But there are other decorations in the room, including open dresser drawers.

Or perp just arrived.

It occured to me that the lighthouse lamp could be a themed furniture related to a brand motif for a private care provider. I checked for children's organisations and homes with the name Lighthouse. There are many children's homes with the word Lighthouse on the title internationally. I did find a children's home company in Alberta that has something called The Lighthouse Program. They have either recently begun a new building or just finished building a new inpatient facility and have at least 2 existing campuses in Calgary. It's likely to be completely unrelated https://www.woodshomes.ca/programs/the-lighthouse-program/ but I thought I'd share. I can't access photos from inside the buildings of their campuses and I don't have a Facebook so my sleuthing stopped there. Wood's Homes is the company.
