“Vaccines Save Lives” The Theme for Animal Health Week

By Carol Thomson Sep 30, 2018 | 1:34 AM

A vaccinated animal is a happy, safe and healthy animal.
That’s the message from the Canadian Medical Association as Animal Health Week in Saskatchewan begins with the theme “Vaccines Save Lives.”
Agriculture Minister David Marit says it’s the same message for livestock producers and pet owners.
The CVMA lists 5 reasons to vaccinate:
They are safe and effective and can prevent illness.
They protect everyone, because diseases that are prevented cannot be passed on.
Vaccinations are an important part of annual health exams.
They are tailored to each animal based on breed, age, overall health and disease-exposure risk and vaccinations can help avoid costly treatments for preventable diseases.

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.”
