While Regina fire crews worked quickly to put out the blaze, the incident remains under investigation.
It’s left staff from the Friendship Centre uncertain on when they will reopen, as they have yet to assess the full extent of the damages. It also limits the options of vulnerable clients who typically access the facility for daily meals, drop-in support and harm reduction.
