A Saskatoon Inter-Agency Response spokesperson says shelters need support to keep vulnerable people safe, especially ahead of a second wave of the coronavirus.

The Lighthouse in Saskatoon has had to get creative to help keep the city’s homeless and most vulnerable safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two letters were discussed by city council on Monday, detailing ongoing issues some business owners say they're facing.

Some people experiencing homelessness have moved into hotels to self-isolate while waiting for COVID-19 test results, but once they're cleared, most are being sent back onto the street.

A group of volunteers with Islamic Relief Canada are making around 400 hygiene kits to help the city's most vulnerable stay healthy.

Saskatoon police said the first Taser was fired when the man made a lunging motion towards officers, but it had little effect on him.

Although homeless shelters are at capacity in Saskatoon, no one is being turned away during this extreme cold spell.

The shelter hopes to install new security measures amid increasing issues with crystal meth in the downtown Saskatoon core.
