Emergency Shelter Funding

Good news for those who use the emergency shelter in the cold winter months, the Provincial Government has decided to provide funding to operate the program at the Fellowship Centre.

The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities reversed their decision to no longer fund the program on December 23rd.

The Province will only fund the emergency shelter for one more year through the Job Creation Partnership Program.

It costs around 123-thousand dollars to operate the shelter 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
