Weyburn Named the Best City to Live in on the Prairies

By Newsroom Aug 5, 2018 | 1:31 AM

The city of Weyburn has been named by MoneySense Magazine as the best city in the Prairies to live in.

The magazine takes an annual survey of 415 Canadian cities looking at things like affordability, population and growth, weather and taxes.

Weyburn topped all other Prairie cities coming in 33rd and was one of four Saskatchewan centres in the top 100.

Saskatoon was ranked 60th, Estevan at 93 and Regina at 97.

The best place to live overall, according to MoneySense, is Ottawa.

Weyburn’s mayor Marcel Roy is surprised to see Weyburn as the only Saskatchewan city in the top 50 but adds they have a lot of good things going for them like an economy that wasn’t as affected by the downturn in the oil and gas industry, because businesses were sharing personnel and helping each other out, which highlights the city’s sense of community.

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.”
