It’s the official opening day (Thurs) for Saskatchewan Provincial Parks with the long weekend coming up. The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport says there are a wide range of programs and activities available this season including Learn to Camp, Learn to Fish, and interpretive activities. There are Camp-Easy sites at Echo Valley, Buffalo Pound and Pike Lake Provincial Parks where basically everything is supplied, except your personal items and your food. As has become the tradition, there is an alcohol ban for the Victoria Day Weekend, from today through Monday. The ban is also in effect at several regional parks. There may be a fire ban in place, depending on what park you are at. For any restrictions or advisories or to book your spot, go to the sask parks website:

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.”
