Saskatoon’s Mayor Off to the Big Apple

By Vanese M. Ferguson Jul 23, 2018 | 5:21 AM

The Mayor of Saskatoon is spending the next three days in New York City for an intensive three day workshop.

Charlie Clark is among 40 mayors from around the world invited to learn from world class experts in leadership, management and innovation.

The program was developed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in collaboration with Harvard University.

It’s designed to help mayors manage the complexities of running a modern city.

Clark feels although Saskatoon is a smaller city, it faces the same issues as major centres like New York.

Clark will appoint two senior city officials to attend a similar session next month.

All of the expenses for the Saskatoon delegation are being paid for by the program.

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.”
