Lighthouse to talk with province
The Lighthouse homeless shelter continues its three month struggle with the province over funding.
Ministry officials are meeting with Caitlin Glencross, Lighthouse manager on Monday, Feb. 22, to try and hammer out a funding agreement so the shelter can stay open.
On Dec. 15, 2015, an employee with the Ministry of Social Services at the North Battleford branch sent out an email to The Lighthouse outlining changes to the approval process for clients at the shelter.
However, Jeff Redekop, Executive Director for Income Assistance Delivery with the Ministry of Social Services, said that there have been no changes to Ministry policy, or its application of policy.
