The city’s planning, development, and community services committee voted in favour today of building a memorial for drinking and driving victims in Saskatchewan on Saskatoon City Hall’s north lawn. The memorial will be placed along 24th Street, close to 4th Avenue.
MADD Canada will design and pay for the memorial consisting of a stone wall with all the names of those killed by drunk drivers in Saskatchewan.
Also at today’s meeting, the committee voted in favour of imposing more restrictions on where residents can fly their drones, including prohibiting residents from flying over city owned property such as sidewalks, and civic buildings.
The report will now go to City council on May 28th.

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.”
