SaskTel has released its 2017/18 Corporate Social Responsibility report which it says, reinforces its commitment to being an ethical, active, and engaged member of the communities it serves. The company says in the last fiscal year, SaskTel spent over $300 million in capital expenditures to expand and improve the speeds of its networks and enhance its ability to deliver services. In that year the company says it also contributed more than $3 million to nearly 1,000 non-profit and charitable organizations, community associations, venues, events and partnerships in more than 200 communities across the province. In addition, since the launch of the “I am Stronger,” initiative, the company has awarded nearly $52 thousand in grants to youth in communities across Saskatchewan, allowing them to implement their own bulling prevention initiatives.

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.”
