A Saskatoon mother says the Ministry of Social Services ignored several requests to have black mold removed from her provincial housing corporation home.

Shannon Kay and her seven children were displaced following a house fire in December 2020  just days before Christmas. 

Eventually, the family was moved into a Saskatchewan Housing Corporation home called Sturby Place.

The family quickly realized the building had several issues.

“[The sewer] backs up three times a year,” Kay said while attending Thursday’s legislative assembly.

The most recent back-up was in September 2023.
