However, organizers of the rally note this is interim funding that is only guaranteed until September. They also note the Saskatchewan government is using an “outdated” per diem model of shelter funding. The plan is to hold the rally on March 11 from noon to 1 p.m. outside North Battleford City Hall. The purpose, according to the rally’s news release, is to “bring attention to the precarious funding situation faced by homelessness shelters in Saskatchewan and the work of the main organizers who are publicly rallying every day against this situation.” A number of speakers are expected to be there including Claudia Turner – Save the Lighthouse Organizer and Client of the Lighthouse, Richard Wolfe – Save the Lighthouse co-organizer, MLAs, city councillors and Lighthouse staff.
