Saskatoon Tribal Council will bar around 30 people with "complex needs" from its Emergency Wellness Centre as of Oct. 1.
Saskatoon Tribal Council Chief Mark Arcand says drug use and rule-breaking are problems at the Emergency Wellness Centre (EWC) and now 30 people will be evicted from the facility.
"The Emergency Wellness Centre will actually be pushing people with complex needs away that are not following the rules," said Mark Arcand.
People gathered at Saskatoon's civic square as the Survivors' Flag was raised for residential school survivors.
The youth centre has operated since 2000 in a former grocery store on 20th Street West.
