Phil Tank: Shelter criticism fired at Saskatoon Tribal Council chief yxe
— it was ultimately the province’s decision that forced the shakeup in homeless services, not the tribal council., perhaps because he’s the most accountable. People have been sending him photos intended to show the harm caused by the presence of the shelter, including people sleeping in bus shelters and possessions left outside businesses.
While the concerns of the homeowners are legitimate — and perceptions of safety can be just as vital as actual safety — Saskatoon is clearly in the grips of a homeless crisis. The cold weather that descended on the city this weekend makes that crisis even more dire. Yet the province, which is actually set to balance the budget this year for the first time since 2015 because it is so flush with cash from resource royalties, seems to have escaped much of the criticism.
While Saskatoon’s homelessness crisis cannot entirely be linked to addiction, there are often underlying issues that cause or exacerbate homelessness.
