A tribute to 215 children who died at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School was placed on the steps of Prince Albert City Hall over the weekend.
SASKATOON The Prince Albert Indian and Métis Friendship Centre is hoping to fill a void in affordable housing for men. Executive director Janet Carriere said the organization is applying for federal funding to build an eight-unit apartment complex. She said they’re still working out the details, but the housing will likely serve men coming out of addictions treatment and the federal corrections system. Carriere said when men come to them for help, staff can help them find necessities such as jobs or food, but there’s little available for affordable places to live. “We understand here that everyone can change and that by being supported and helped along the way that we can all find our full potential,” she said.
