Riders Plaza of Honour Weekend Starts Friday With Inductions

By Les Lazaruk Aug 17, 2018 | 6:32 AM

Past President Jim Hopson and former stand-out offensive lineman John Terry will be inducted into the Rider Plaza of Honour, outside at Mosaic Stadium Friday night.

Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Roughriders host Calgary Sunday. The contest will be the first of 11 straight the Green and White will play without a break. The Riders have had two of their three bye weeks in the first nine weeks of the season. Now they’ll play 11 consecutive weeks before getting their final bye in the last week of the regular season.

In addition, the Roughriders go into Sunday’s home game against the unbeaten Stampeders with a 3-4 record, tied with B-C for fourth place in the C-F-L West. The 3-4 log is the same as last season, at which time the Green and White won five of their next seven games and seven of their next 10 to secure a playoff spot.

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.”
