Saskatoon police said that they haven't taken any reports of theft within the evacuee centres. 

Staff and security will be upgraded over the weekend, said Carrie Kamps, from Saskatchewan's Ministry of Social Services. 

Henderson arrived at the Saskatoon Soccer Centre on Sunday and hopes to return home tomorrow. 

"I am getting pretty bored, so I started helping out with the Red Cross," he said.
