Scrapping The Scrap Tires In Assiniboia

By Carol Thomson Dec 18, 2018 | 3:19 PM

It was almost 5 years ago in February of 2014 that the Assiniboia Rubber Recycling plant closed after going into receivership, leaving behind almost 6700 tonnes of scrap tires and processed materials.
The Ministry of Environment and Saskatchewan’s scrap tire recycling program operator known as Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan are taking action to clean up the site.
TSS has issued a Request for Proposals for disposing of the tires and to determine the cost, which the Environment Ministry says any contaminated site becomes a risk to public health and safety if not managed properly.

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.”
