It’s almost Happy Birthday Canada time again. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our sesquicentennial doesn’t it? On Sunday, Saskatoon’s Diefenbaker Park will once again be the scene of activities throughout the day starting with a buffet breakfast from 8-10am. At 10 the official ceremony will take place complete with birthday cake. There will be entertainment on the main stage beginning at 11am and continuing through until dusk and the fireworks display. Our radio stations here at Saskatoon Media Group will be providing some terrific live country music starting at 3 o’clock with Brock Andrews, followed by Michele Dubois at 4 and then Cody Prevost at 5. This live entertainment on the main stage is always a focal point of the late afternoon in the park every year so be sure and bring your lawn chairs. As always there will be food vendors, displays and a marketplace to stroll around. There’s no better way to celebrate this great country on its birthday than to join hundreds of our fellow citizens for a family day in the park.
That’s Coffeetalk. I’m Vic Dubois

Have Your Say
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.”
