Awhile ago I wrote a blog about a teen care home in Hampton Village. Recently a group of homeowners in the Hampton Village neighbourhood came forward to protest the teen care home saying their children would be endangered by the presence of two teen care homes. Many of the neighbours are coming together and putting together a formal campaign. Already west-side city councillors have been going door to door to residents in Hampton Village getting signatures for a petition against the teen care homes. Last reported they already had approximately 100 signatures. Among some of the complaints people are stating are the safety for their children and also the potential affect on their Saskatoon property value. This would be the 5th and 6th home in Saskatoon as part of this program. The city of Saskatoon stated that it has not received any complaints about the existing 3rd and 4th home in the city. One of these are already located in Hampton Village and the other is located in Dundonald.
