Starting today, for about five days, traffic in the westbound lanes of College Drive at McOrmond Drive, will be closed. Westbound traffic will instead use eastbound lanes. Construction on the interchange at that location continues with work on the overhead spans and the placement of bridge decks. Traffic patterns are expected to flip twice more through this stage of the project which is scheduled to finish by the end of May. That is also when full lanes will reopen to traffic. Speed limit through the construction zone is 60 km/h. The height restriction going through there is now permanently set at 5.5 metres. The McOrmond Drive and College Drive interchange is set to open in October this year.

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.”
