A new CT scanner is coming to St. Paul’s Hospital. The fundraising goal of 1.2 million dollars was met during last Thursday’s blitz for donations. The Province will pay for the other half of the 2.4 million dollar price tag. Hospital Foundation C-E-O Bruce Acton says the new machine is state of the art, providing brighter and more defined images in less time. It will also be more patient friendly requiring less dye to do the job. Acton also says the old scanner broke down periodically as the department is open 24 hours a day. There are over 10-thousand CT scans yearly at St. Paul’s. They help with cancer treatment, assess surgery results, and also identify as well as diagnose internal injuries, diseases and abnormalities.

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.”
