If you are going to the University of Regina to take classes, do business or anything else after August 1, you can forget about lighting up a cigarette or smoking anything, as the facility will be going smoke-free. The U of R says this is a continuation of efforts to have people at the university whether they be a student, staff or a visitor are in a safe, healthy and clean environment. Darren Cherwaty is the U of R’s director of health, safety and wellness. He says this adds the university to a long list of post-secondary institutions in North America going smoke-free. The policy also means the advertising or sale of tobacco products on campus will be prohibited and the growing of cannabis will not be allowed in any of the residences.

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.”
