North Battleford homeless shelter loses 90 per cent of provincial funding
UPDATE: Minister Donna Harpauer responds
The only homeless shelter in the Battlefords is struggling to keep its doors open after a provincial funding cut.
In December, The Lighthouse homeless shelter in North Battleford had its provincial funding cut by as much as 90 per cent.
“We received the warning (from the Ministry of Social Services) one day and the very next day our funding was cut,” Caitlin Glencross, manager of The Lighthouse said.
