The City of Saskatoon is calling this morning’s (Wed) emergency test message a success.
Around 10 this morning, those in the phone book and those that have registered for texts or emails would have received the message.
The Director of Emergency Planning, Pamela Goulden-McLeod, says if something like the power outage that affected around 200-thousand people on Tuesday had happened in Saskatoon, the notifynow messages would have been sent directly to residents throughout the day to update them and share information.
Just over 24-thousand residents have customized their notifynow profiles, but Goulden-McLeod would like to see more people doing so.
She cautions that notifynow can’t reach you and your family if you have incomplete or out-of-date contact information in their system.
Go to the City’s website to indicate how you would like to receive your notifications or call 306-975-3210 for more 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.”
