As many of you know, the Salvation Army has been working on opening a women’s shelter in Saskatoon for over a year and a half now. It’s been a long process and one of the latest parts of the process has been asking the city to rezone a piece of property for us.
There is a process for that and on June 16th, the Salvation Army, the City of Saskatoon, and the citizens of Pleasant Hill got together to discuss our desire for a zoning change. While the meeting turned out really well, it did have some fun twists and turns.
Along the way, there was a mis-communication between the City and Pleasant Hill School and the school was locked when everyone got there. The city planners were knocking on all of the doors and Councilor Lorje was thinking of calling someone when all of us realized that it was the perfect night to sit outside. So instead of using the school’s auditorium, we used the front step and lawn. The result was we all got to enjoy the late spring weather and we had a good time getting to know our neighbors a little better.
Wendy was there and took some photos of the gathering. Some of them are below. You can find the rest on Flickr.
