The Southeast Advocates is launching its first winter clothing drive to help newcomers stay warm as colder weather sets in.

The organization is seeking gently used jackets, mitts, ski pants, and winter boots for both children and adults.

“The idea for the drive came after seeing how many people, especially newcomers, don’t have proper winter clothing when they first arrive,” said Calie-Marie Mack with Southeast Advocates. “As the weather starts to turn colder, I realized how important it is to have the right items to get through the winter.”

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is looking to keep the Redvers Health Centre more open for residents as they've implemented a virtual physician program.

The SHA calls the program a temporary measure to help sustain and support access to emergency health services while they try to stabilize health human resources.

Whenever local physicians are not available at the Redvers Health Centre and local recruitment efforts are ongoing to fill provider vacancies, the virtual physician program will be used to address patients in the ER.
