Saskatoon’s Friendship Inn to double its size and capacity
According to a story in today’s Star Phoenix, Saskatoon’s Friendship Inn has purchased the property next door to its current location with an eye on expanding the size and capacity of the facility. An architectural firm has been hired to plan the expansion, which will commence following a spring possession date. The one million dollar fundraising campaign to finance the expansion is underway.
Established in 1969 with the help of the Catholic diocese and the InnerCity Council of Churches, the Friendship Inn currently serves an average of 500 meals daily. In the past year, the organization has served more than 180,000 meals to transient, homeless and less fortunate men, women and children.
The Saskatoon Friendship Inn will expand into neighbouring Westside Clinic
The Friendship Inn is at 619 20th Street West in the Riversdale area of Saskatoon.

I returned to visit Saskatoon after decades and I would not want to live here now. Too expensive and materialistic. My daughter born in South America doesn’t like it here. To be poor (not rich) means you have to live with street people, drunks and drug addicts. Nobody wants to work here she says. The economy is a pyramid scheme in her view.
