If you plan to set off fireworks in celebration of Canada Day, it comes with a cautionary note from the Saskatoon Fire Department.

Low hazard fireworks are for public and recreational use and include some roman candles and sparklers and travel less than 50 metres or 160 feet. You are allowed to use low hazard fireworks between dusk and 11 p.m.

You are advised to choose a location free of overhead obstruction, with clearance on either side and safely away from anything which could combust. And read the instructions before using them.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

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.”
