Saskatoon Tribal Council seeks expansion of wellness centre contract
is looking to expand its Emergency Wellness Centre services to provide a more long-term solution for homelessness in the city.
The building is expected to hold anywhere from 100 to 130 beds compared to its current 75, have a full kitchen, and have a top-floor space for offices and meetings. “We’re seeing a lot of individuals that really want to move forward in regards to getting help but still trying to trust those systems,” Arcand said.The current temporary contract needs to be extended as its expiration date is the end of April.
“I’d like to take over all of the shelter fees away from all of the other organizations and have it away from downtown and just focus on trying to get people healthier and into these systems. So that’s the long-term goal,” Arcand said.Story continues below advertisementThe letter outlines STC’s request to extend the current Emergency Wellness Centre’s contract to house the temporary organization for a little while longer until it is able to secure a permanent long-term location.
