An Indigenous dancer is searching for answers after she says her regalia was stolen.
Graycen Thomas says five full sets of Old Style Fancy Dance regalia were taken from the backseat of her vehicle that was parked downtown in Saskatoon.
On Tuesday night around 9 p.m., Thomas says she parked along 2nd Avenue South to go to the Scotiabank Theatre.
At the end of the film, when she returned to her vehicle, she noticed someone had rummaged through her car.
Thomas says her wallet, and a suitcase containing the regalia, were stolen.
"I wasn't ok, and I'm still not ok," she says.
Thomas, who is from the Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation, said the regalia included special beadwork made by her mom.
Vancouver was ordered to build 1,405 affordable rentals over the past year. Only 313 were completed.
Vancouver fell short of meeting the province's housing targets for the last year, mostly due to a failure to meet the goal for affordable rentals, according to a report coming to city council.
