Removing benches, removing the problem?
Published 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Saskatoon has decided to remove 25 downtown benches, citing concerns of safety and sanitation. Critics say this doesn't address the underlying problems of homelessness, and it simply pushes vulnerable people elsewhere. Shawna Nelson, Executive Director of the Downtown Saskatoon Business Improvement District, joins Evan to discuss what she'd like to see going forward.
