Homeless Saskatchewan man given one-way bus ticket hopes for new life in B.C.
VANCOUVER — Two homeless Saskatchewan men who say they were given one-way bus tickets to British Columbia have arrived in Vancouver.
Charles Neil-Curly, 23, has been homeless for about five months and living in a North Battleford, Sask. shelter, but he says the province cut his funding, forcing him to find somewhere else to go.
Neil-Curly says he asked for a ticket to B.C. and was on a bus later that night with his friend from the shelter, 21-year-old Jeremy Roy.
The pair reportedly received the tickets from a worker with the provincial government and Saskatchewan Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer says the case is being reviewed by her department.
