Staffing a Challenge at Alberta Shelter
Gallage told the premier that staffing is a major issue at the shelter with 14 staff members and eight casual workers. Night shifts are solitary and risky, causing ongoing anxiety, while retention suffers as employees move to government roles. The shelter lacks funds for higher wages and urges immigration to fill skilled positions under Alberta’s deal with Ottawa.
