( THE CANADIAN PRESS )An Ontario man who was homeless for years has donated $10,000 to a shelter that supported him after receiving compensation from a residential school settlement. A few weeks ago, a First Nations man who had used the shelter and the outreach program extensively walked into Calderon’s office and said he wanted to give back, she recalled. But we need money to get the program going to be able to do that.” The shelter has raised $75,000, but needs $125,000 to get the outreach program running again. “This comes at a particularly good time for Thunder Bay,” Calderon said of the man’s donation. The chiefs slammed the Thunder Bay Police for what they called an ongoing indifference of Indigenous people.
