The Leader-Post
Your article on the Souls Harbour Rescue Mission opening a youth centre and day care (Feb. 4) is a "good news" story. However, the way it is presented may leave some of your readers with the wrong impression.
The building that the mission has purchased at 1475 Athol St. is indeed the former St. Andrew's United Church.
St. Andrew's sold the building in August of 2005 to the Regina Friendship Centre. Any unpaid taxes and the state of the "unkempt" building would have been the responsibility of the Regina Friendship Centre, not that of the congregation of St. Andrew's or the United Church.
