Dillon RCMP Constable Wade Chitrena has been charged with Breach of Trust after an incident on October 13th. Two fellow officers from the detachment came across information which they allege indicated that an on-duty officer had improperly accessed sensitive, private images from surveillance video taken in the cell block area of the Buffalo Narrows Detachment. The officers reported the information to their supervisor. Prince Alert RCMP conducted a criminal investigation and allege that at least one image had been copied and printed from the video. Chitrena has been with the service for nine years. He is suspended with pay. A Code of Conduct investigation has been ordered. Chitrena is next in court January 16th in Dillon.

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.”
