Women's Shelter Re-Zoning Meeting

On June 16th, the Salvation Army, the City of Saskatoon, and the citizens of Pleasant Hill got together to discuss our desire for a zoning change to allow us to purchase and open an emergency shelter for women and children who are homeless in Saskatoon.

Along the way, there was a mis-communication between the City and Pleasant Hill School and the school was locked when everyone got there. Luckily it was a perfect evening to sit outside and talk so instead of using the school's auditorium, we used the front lawn.  The result was we all got to enjoy the late spring weather and no one can accuse us of meeting behind closed doors!

If you missed the meeting or have any questions about the project, please don't hesitate to contact Captain Rhonda Smith at the Centre via phone (242.6833), e-mail, or in drop by in person.

Prison Barbecue

Every year the Salvation Army Communty Centre heads north to Prince Albert and the Riverbend Institution for our annual barbecue for the inmates and staff there.  This year we brought along 450 hamburgers, 350 hotdogs/smokies/sausages, a couple hundred cans of pop, salads, chips, and dessert for everyone.

Yesterday Major Henri, our program director Sylvia, and myself made the trek north and had a great time cooking, serving, and chatting with guys there.  Thanks to the chaplaincy staff at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary and Riverbend for such great hosts.   Also thanks to staff at Riverbend for being so accommodating to us.  We really appreciate it!
