A Saskatoon man has purchased a school bus and renovated it into an overnight warm-up shelter.
A Saskatoon man has purchased a school bus and renovated it into an overnight warm-up shelter.
Through donations, Ralph Nicotine bought the bus for $8,000 and spent about $2,000 on the renovations.
Nicotine got inspired to create a mobile shelter, following the freezing death in Saskatoon last November.
Shortly after, Nicotine leased a school bus from a friend to use as a warmup space. After that season, Nicotine saw the need to buy his own bus so he could customize the interior.
"It's a new colour, it's a new bus," Nicotine told CTV News.
"We're back out here with a red bus."
The bus has 12 chairs lining the side of the bus. Nicotine found having the chairs face each other is safer than the typical bus seating layout.
