Dundurn Fire From An Exercise, Not A Controlled Burn

By Carol Thomson Apr 30, 2018 | 5:29 PM

An official with the Department of National Defence says the grass fire on Canadian Forces Base Dundurn land wasn’t a controlled burn, but instead was part of an exercise that got out of control and is now under investigation.
The fire started on Saturday, and it was just before 1 Sunday morning that the Saskatoon Fire Department received a call for “mutual aid” from the Dundurn Fire Department.
The smoke caused poor air quality in Saskatoon and surrounding areas and golf was cancelled at Dakota Dunes because of it.

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.”
