2nd wave is here and SIRC partners are holding strong together to limit the spread and support people who are especially vulnerable because of food- and housing-insecurity. But our work is getting harder each day, and we need more support from our provincial government to keep the situation from getting worse in Saskatoon. We are calling on Government of Saskatchewan for a coordinated, inter-ministerial COVID-19 response to homelessness that meets the 3 needs listed here: https://saskatooninteragencyresponse.ca/
