TL:DR

The White Calf Shelter in Standoff is closing its doors on June 16th, fam. 😩 Apparently, they're running low on funds, and the Blood Tribe wants the spot back for community stuff. But don't stress, they're hooking people up with other shelters in Lethbridge and Moses Lake.

The Deets

Okay, so boom. The Blood Tribe Department of Health is straight up pulling the plug on the White Calf Shelter in Standoff, Alberta. It's happening June 16th. This place has been an emergency shelter since December 2022, housing up to 30 peeps every night. Mad respect for that.

But here's the tea: the Blood Tribe administration wants the White Calf Community Hall back for its original purpose. Plus, they're dealing with some serious financial pressure and no steady income, which is a major L. The CEO of the Blood Tribe Department of Health, Derrick Fox, said it wasn't an easy decision, but they had no other choice. They're not just gonna leave people hanging, tho.

The plan is to help everyone who was staying at the shelter find new housing and link them up with social services. If anyone needs a place to crash, they can still hit up the Blood Tribe Department of Health shelters in Lethbridge and Moses Lake. Word is, there ain't gonna be another shelter popping up in Standoff anytime soon. That's the 411.
