Regina warming shelter sees increase in visitors as temperatures drop
On Nov. 15, the city launched the warming bus. It was used to temporarily alleviate the lack of warming shelters at the time. On Monday, the bus said farewell to its last visitor, closing its doors and letting local organizations take over.
The city says it fell short of providing quality community outreach. The shortcoming led to some violent situations. “There have been reports of violence, sexual assault, drug and alcohol consumption,” Regina Mayor Sandra Masters told media on Nov. 30. Kingston says Regina needs more organizations to help fight this issue in the Queen City and wishes the city’s warming bus stayed open.“I definitely think we need more. Just by the numbers that come through Awasiw, who aren’t we helping?”
Mayor Masters says she isn’t ruling out a potential return for the warming bus service but says safety of everyone inside it is their top priority.
