The Saskatoon Police Service will present its 2019 preliminary operating budget today (thurs) at the Saskatoon Board of Police Commissioners monthly meeting.

The Saskatoon Police Service is calling for an increase of just over $4.1 million dollars.

The report that will be presented today says most of the increase that’s being requested, just over $3.1 million dollars will be used to maintain existing service levels, inflation costs and changing program needs.

The police service is also looking to hire 10 new employees at cost of nearly $1 million. Saskatoon City Council will have the final say on the 2019 preliminary operating budget of $94.6 million.

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.”
