Saskatoon Tribal Council calls for prioritizing warm-up shelters over a proposed 30-bed facility.

The Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC), led by Chief Mark Arcand, is urging Saskatchewan and Saskatoon to prioritize warm-up shelters over a proposed 30-bed emergency shelter. Arcand argues that the new facility, operated by the Mustard Seed, would not effectively address the city's rising homelessness, as it merely relocates beds from the STC's Emergency Wellness Centre. He advocates for redirecting funding to enhance winter shelter services instead.
