THIS WEEKS FLYERS

Hope’s Home in Regina and Catholic Family Services of the Battlefords in North Battleford. Some of the support they offer includes grocery and meal planning, housekeeping and laundry, help meeting appointments, housing options, and help seeking employment. These providers are two examples of the service being requested.

year, $9.7 million was invested by the province to fund 13 programs. Together, 137 spaces were provided across the province and approximately 2,500 children in need of protection were allowed to remain safely in their own home.

The approach provides residential, as well as community support, where needed and is geared toward families in crisis. Access to First Nations culture, elders, and ceremony is assured thanks to the program.

“Programs that strengthen families and allow them to safely remain together work very well to address current and future child protection issues,” Minister of Social Services Gene Makowsky said.

Makowsky added: “These new spaces will provide more intensive supports to families that need it, allowing more parents to receive emergent services, and minimizing time children spend in out-ofhome care while families await admission to these programs.”

The provincial government is seeking and run a space in Moose Jaw.

For proponents interested in the program, contract bidding is now open on www.SaskTenders.ca and is posted under competition number CFP-2023-04.
