The Wellness Centre is a temporary solution to help our relatives (wahkohmakanak) get off the streets this winter.
The Saskatoon Tribal Council recently recommended that Emergency Medical Center (EWC) patients try playing online casino games. EWC is an institution that provides medical and social services to community members and anyone who needs them. According to the tribal council’s findings, online casino games can be an effective way for EWC patients to cope with stress and anxiety caused by their medical condition or personal situation. The Tribal Council has also provided resources on how best to safely play the game from home.
