Tribal Council donates $40K to Homeplate Shelter Coalition
The emergency shelter in Meadow Lake has an official opening date thanks to a donation from the Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC).
On Thursday, Dene Vice Chief Lawrence McIntyre and Cree Vice Chief Richard Durocher made a presentation to Meadow Lake Homeplate Shelter Coalition Corp. Board Member Joanne Gislason by presenting her with a cheque of $40,000.
“They just do such wonderful work,” said Vice Chief Durocher, during the presentation.
The money will allow the shelter to officially open its doors on Dec. 1 and the organization is grateful.
