For the past 34 years, SaskAbilities Swift Current region has celebrated the season and the spirit of Ability Bowl. More than the opportunity to bowl, it is an event filled with camaraderie, goodwill, generosity, and above all else, fun.

The Permanent Supportive Housing Operating Grant would begin in 2022 and is a part of the plan to end homelessness originally published in 2018. It would provide up to $1 million each year for community-based organizations to operate around 20 housing spaces.
City administration said this would be a housing first approach meaning people do not need to have been through rehabilitation or detox to qualify and would be funded through the city s social development reserve. Funds would also be offset by moving some from the Housing Incentives Policy to the permanent housing grant.
Regina city administration said there are ripple effects with housing-first strategies, including less arrests, ER visits and police calls. (Shutterstock)
