A site located at 210 Pacific Avenue has been identified as a potential site for a temporary 30 to 40-bed enhanced emergency residential shelter. With some renovation, it will be suitable for a shelter and meet most of the City Council-approved criteria.
If the site receives the necessary approvals by City Council, it is anticipated to open as a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency shelter in Winter 2024. Before the site may be used as a temporary “Emergency Residential Shelter”, as per the City of Saskatoon Zoning Bylaw, City Council must approve the duration of the shelter for a temporary operation up to 18 months. This building will then be leased to the Government of Saskatchewan.
Neighbourhood Information Sessions will be held on September 16, 2024 with representatives from the City and the Province’s service provider, The Mustard Seed. Area residents and business will be invited to attend to learn about shelter operations as well as plans for safety and security around the facility.
