Saskatchewan Polytechnic has partnered with Northwest Community College to bring a Warehouse Worker program to Prince Rupert, BC. It provides online and video conference training to Indigenous students in northern British Columbia. The co-operative program is being provided to 12 students with training taking place over a 24 week period. Sask Polytech President and CEO Dr. Larry Rosia says, “Delivering training through two-way video conferencing and online curriculum is a first for NWCC and Sask Polytech.”
Last month Polytech signed a letter of intent with Confederation College in Northwest Ontario. That agreement has the two institutions working together to recognize and share strengths and wise practices in Indigenous post-secondary education. The letter of intent will have them working together for the next five years.

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.”
