The Sanctum Care Group’s decision on the implementation of an angel cradle in Saskatoon has been delayed.
An angel cradle is a space where mothers can safely and anonymously abandon babies.
The group’s board was supposed to vote this week, but it now has received information from the Ministry of Social Services that it has been asked to consider before it decides to say yes or no.
“We have received information from the Ministry of Social Services that we have been asked to consider before moving forward with a decision on the implementation of the Angel Cradle in Saskatoon. Sanctum Care Group is reviewing the information and doing due diligence before a vote will be made by the board of directors. The Angel Cradle is currently not in operation,” Sanctum Care Group executive director Katelyn Roberts said in an email to 650 CKOM.
The Ministry of Social Services won’t say publicly what the information is it wants the care group to review.
In a statement emailed to 650 CKOM on Thursday, Joel Kilbride — the executive director of Program and Service Design, Child and Family Programs with the Ministry of Social Services — said it’s working with the care group to best support expectant mothers.
“We have been continuing conversations with Sanctum Care Group about our work together to support at-risk, expectant mothers,” Kilbride wrote. “(Sanctum Care Group officials) are a valued partner in the community, and we are pleased to engage with them further in the coming months on ways to strengthen services and supports for this vulnerable client group.”
The discovery of a baby in a dumpster in Saskatoon last month sparked discussions about the need for an angel cradle in the city.
