La Ronge homeless have place to go after LLRIB offers Kitsaki Hall
The Lac La Ronge Indian Band is stepping up to help local homeless find a warm place to sleep during the current cold snap.
Approximately 15 beds are being provided at the Kitsaki Hall to those in need.
Scattered Sites operates a homeless shelter, but was forced to close for two weeks, after a client tested positive for COVID-19.
After being made aware of an overflow of homeless, Chief Tammy Cook-Searson opened up the emergency shelter for this week.
“We’re lucky that [Chief] Tammy is totally on our side,” said Ron Woytowich, Executive Director of the Kikinahk Friendship Centre, which operates the Scattered Sites Program. “And she arranged for them to be on reserve.”
