All good things come to an end, those are the words of Travis Low who created the Lows in Motion Parkinson’s Shaker. The event which has been running for 10 years held its final event at Prairieland Park on Saturday. The event has raised nearly $600 thousand dollars in support of the more than 4 thousand people in Saskatchewan who live with the debilitating disease in its 10 year run. Even though the official numbers of the money raised from this year’s event haven’t quite been calculated, one thing is for sure and that is the “Shaker” was indeed a sellout. Low says they had 1,064 tickets available for Saturday’s event and each and everyone one of them was taken. Low adds the money raised will will go to the Saskatchewan region of Parkinson Canada to help with advocacy, support, education and research. This year entertainment included comedian Kelly Taylor as emcee and Josh Blue, the winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

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.”
