WEYBURN, Sask. — City council in Weyburn, Sask., has apologized to residents and other Canadians for using insensitive words after a controversial decision to reject a care home for people with disabilities. A letter from the council, which was posted online Friday, said it’s deeply sorry for what was said in council chambers earlier this week. “The intent of the conversation was never to hurt or exclude any group or individuals. Before Monday’s vote, resident Alexandr Korytko wrote a letter asking council to allow more time so he could learn more about the group home that would be built across the street.
