'Continue to build': Pats look to future as WHL trade deadline passes
1h ago
The Regina Pats have five picks in the first two rounds of this year's WHL draft.
For the first time, Regina has a sense of how many people there are without a place to call home.
The first-ever homeless count was done on May 13, 2015. The Point-In-Time Count of Homelessness is a research tool used to get a sense of shelter use in the city and street homelessness.
More than 150 volunteers and 34 organizations helped take part in the count.
While a street count is not precise, it gives a snapshot of how many people are homeless in Regina, and also allows groups to examine how the population changes over time.
A full report will be released this fall, with the data used for future funding and programming decisions.
