The city’s governance and priorities committee will be receiving a report at today’s (tues) meeting that suggests any future planning for Saskatoon’s Central Business District area should take into consideration a possible downtown arena. Last week the city held a news conference saying that there are more benefits to an arena-convention centre downtown because of the economic spin-off for restaurants, hotels and shopping rather than having the arena where it currently is. They will need to look at downtown infrastructure though, to examine the effects on roads, parking, water and sewer. The report is to be received as information.

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.”
