CREIGHTON — A grand opening of a group home in Creighton for adults with intellectual disabilities is being celebrated.
The Government of Saskatchewan has allocated $2.5 million in capital funding and over $650,000 in annual operational funding for the home, which offers space for up to seven individuals through group home and supported independent living suites.
Karis Disability Services is a non-profit organization serving approximately 200 individuals with intellectual disabilities across Saskatchewan. They offer a range of programs including group homes, supported independent living, day programming and a Host Families project in several communities including Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon, Martensville, Warman, Waldheim, Prince Albert and Creighton.
Individuals began transitioning into the Creighton home in February 2025.
"Communities are at their best when everybody belongs and has the opportunity to share their God-given gifts," Karis Disability Services Executive Director Hilary Sandell-Atkins said.
"This incredible new home has allowed for the people living in it to maintain important community connections and relationships in their home community, while continuing to grow in independence and experience. We are grateful to the provincial government for investing in this project and the community of Creighton in this meaningful way."
