Kelly Bates (pictured) is changing addresses.

The Humboldt product has been hired as offensive quality control coach for the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. The 42-year-old Bates joins the Esks after spending three seasons as head coach of the Simon Fraser University football program in Burnaby, B.C. A graduate of the U of S and a member of the 1998 Vanier Cup-champion Huskies, Bates played 10 seasons in the CFL as an offensive lineman, eight of them with B.C. in two stints with the Lions, winning Grey Cups in 2006 and 2011. He also suited up with Winnipeg, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton…the latter team in 2010.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
