Val Marie Cleans up from Storm

Jul 11, 2018 | 4:40 PM

Mother Nature delivered an intense summer storm Tuesday to people in the southwest part of the province with Environment Canada saying five tornadoes touched down.

The storm, which had golf to tennis ball sized hail, rolled through Val Marie where it left quite a mess.

Mayor Roland Facette says it was a little scary as he sat in his vehicle and watched the storm blow in quickly.

Facette says the storm was the worst he has seen since the mid 50’s and that there has been a lot of clean-up happening as tree branches were ripped off and windows were broken.

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.”
