Saskatchewan promises policy review after two homeless men given tickets to B.C.
VANCOUVER — Jason Stennes says he knows what it’s like to be down on his luck with nowhere to turn, so he wants to offer jobs to a pair of newly arrived homeless men who say they were given one-way bus tickets to B.C. from Saskatchewan.
“We’ve got to take care of each other … and if I’m able to help out I will,” Stennes, a 43-year-old high school dropout who is now owner and CEO of 360 Cranes Services, said Thursday.
“I’ve been offered chances in my life and I just feel it’s important to pass it on.”
Charles Neil-Curly, 23, and Jeremy Roy, 21, had been living at a homeless shelter in North Battleford, Sask., but Neil-Curly said a funding cut meant he had to find somewhere else to go.
