SASKATOON Following the success of an outdoor homeless camp with teepees and open-pit fires in Winnipeg, a group in Saskatoon hopes to erect something similar here to keep the homeless warm and safe during the winter cold. “We have a lot of access to warm-up stations, the problem is they run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with a couple running 24 hours and unfortunately homelessness and cold weather doesn’t stop at 9 p.m.,” said Daina Kary, an Indigenous social work student at First Nations University of Canada. Since she saw a video on social media, showing the makeshift homeless camp in Winnipeg, Kary and some of her colleagues have been organizing and reaching out to city organizations to see if they can make the homeless camp a reality in Saskatoon.
