When the extreme cold hits, a place in North Central will provide warm drinks, warm clothes and most importantly, a roof for people caught without a home.
All Nations Hope Network and YWCA Regina have partnered to open a warming station on 5th Avenue near Elphinstone Street.
“People are at risk out in the cold. We need to answer the call and provide for them,” said Margaret Kîsikâw Piyêsîs, Finance and Research Director for All Nations Hope Network in a news release.
The shelter opened on Boxing Day, operating from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m., staffed by All Nations Hope Network. YWCA provides diversion services to those who can use them.
