Damage is pegged at $200 thousand dollars after a house fire at 3339 Fairlight Drive. The Saskatoon Fire Department got multiple 9-1-1 calls around 2:30 this morning about heavy smoke and flames coming from the rear of the house. The house had been evacuated before crews arrived. The blaze was under control in 35 minutes. A girl was examined on the scene for smoke inhalation and released. It was determined that the fire was caused by children playing with a lighter in a closet.
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.”
