Saskatchewan weighs benefits of healing lodge
The provincial government will not rush to a decision regarding the future of a healing lodge on Wahpeton First Nation.
The facility has been closed for almost a year. Funding was pulled last year over administrative issues. Prince Albert Grand Council has submitted a new proposal to the government for how to better run the facility.
The Ministry of Corrections and Policing is currently reviewing all its community corrections programs, with a focus on ways to improve rehabilitation services.
“In light of this re-organization we really wanted to go back and consider what our ongoing needs for the future were, in terms of the kinds of services that might be provided by the Prince Albert Grand Council,” said the ministry’s Judy Orthner.
