La Ronge’s Scattered Site Outreach Program is set to re-open its doors.
The facility, which provides meals and addictions services to vulnerable people, closed its doors last week after a government funding contract ended Mar. 31.
However, Kikinahk Friendship Centre Executive Director Ron Woytowich said provincial funding has now been restored and they plan to re-open on Monday.
He said this a big relief as Scattered Site provides services that are much needed in the community.
“It’s needed here, it’s needed big time,” Woytowich said. “I’ve always said we’re the same as a city. We’re in the north but there’s four communities that really comprise – the band (Lac La Ronge Indian Band), Air Ronge and La Ronge itself and Eagle Point. If all four of us were together, we’d be a city and we have all the problems.”
