Centennial Market vendors not bothered by neighbouring emergency shelter – Regina Leader Post

“I think they come and they’ll maybe go right through and they go to Value Village or go catch a bus out there or whatever.

The emergency shelter, located on the 1200 block of Hamilton Street, is operated by Regina Treaty/Status Indian Services .

Erica Beaudin, executive director of RTSIS, has said it’s been the organization’s intent for the shelter to have a minimal footprint in the community.

Ben Huynink, who runs Ben’s Family Hair Care in the Centennial Mall, said he has noticed a few disruptions with people begging for money.

Christine Scott, who is the co-owner of Centennial Books, said she hadn’t noticed any disturbances.
