The City of Saskatoon’s leisure guide could in the future be compressed to about 10 per cent of what it is now for print copies, but with more interaction available online. Director of Recreation and Community Development, Lynn Lacroix, says what they heard from the public was that most people consider the guide valuable, but 74 per cent believe it shouldn’t be the 120 page document that it is. She recommends a 2 year phased-in approach to a condensed hard copy guide with the rest of the information available online. By the spring of 2021, the hard copy leisure guide would only be available for pickup at places like the city’s libraries and leisure centres instead of delivering to 100-thousand homes. The recommendation will still have to go before City Council.

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.”
