Saskatoon City Council is set to discuss for what is believed to be the final time, firepits. Last month city council decided to vote on the new time frame of when residents will be allowed to use their wood-burning firepits which is 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. At last month’s meeting Councillor Loewen made an amendment to change the time from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. to 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. Also on the agenda today is to discuss whether or not to build partial fencing around storm ponds in the Lakeview and Dundonald neighbourhoods. Last year a five year boy who was a student at Ecole Dundonald School drowned in the near by pond. Since then disscussions and reports have been made to make changes to the pond. And City Council will vote today on a motion to name a promenade located on Spadina Crescent after singer Joni Mitchell. Today’s (mon) meeting is set to start at city hall at 1 p.m.

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.”
