Canada’s biggest #IndigenousOwned#bank is planning a major expansion that will raise as much as $50 million to reach more customers.
#Saskatoon based #FirstNationsBank of #Canada aims for an issuance later this year that could expand its capital by as much as 50%, with a goal to double its $600 million loan book over the next few years, chief executive Bill Lomax said in an interview. This may be the first of two equity raises in the next couple of years, he said.
Saskatoon currently experiencing blizzard like conditions with 30-40 cm forecast by Sunday night. What the heck are people doing when they shovel snow onto the street instead of their front or side lawns? Never can understand this strategy in a city that does not plow its streets other than major routes. #Saskatoon#Saskatchewan
In an exclusive interview with Global News, Lieutenant General Kyrylo #Budanov urged the government to let #Ukraine have the decommissioned CRV7 rockets.
More than 83,000 CRV7 ground attack rockets are warehoused at #Canadian Forces Ammunition Depot #Dundurn, south of #Saskatoon.
Officials said they were looking into the request, but cautioned the CRV7s are decades old and could have become unstable, rendering them dangerous to handle and transport.
BunMum made her first pie ever today. 💓 She used her Grandma’s glass pie pan. Saskatoon berry pie. 🥧 Eastern Canada/US knows them as service berries.
When BunMum’s great grandparents (mother/grandmother side) came to Canada they settled north of Saskatoon after staying briefly in Brilliant, British Columbia. Picture is from 1915. Remarkably the calendar behind confirms this! 💜#Family#FamilyHistory#Dhoukhobor#Ancestry#Baking#Pie#Saskatoon
Since #electronics have been on my mind lately, I've been thinking of this ... story? situation? anecdote might be the best fit.
Doing anything every vaguely #niche, like #hobby electronics, in a small #city in the middle of #nowhere used to be quite difficult in terms of obtaining #supplies and #parts. Before the #internet, if you could plan ahead and order enough stuff at once from a big #distributor to make the #shipping charges worthwhile, #catalogs from DigiKey etc were life savers.
The other place was a branch of a #regional#chain that served most of western #Canada. They used to have branches in 7 or 8 cities throughout the #west. They still exist, but they only have a head office in #Calgary and a branch in #Saskatoon now.
Back in the day, my friends and I had a name for them. We called it "Two weeks, ten bucks". "Hey, I gotta go to two weeks, ten bucks on Thursday when I get off work. Do you need anything?"
If anyone in #Saskatoon looking for flu and Covid shots, Merlis Belscher Place clinic open until Oct 29th. Virtually no wait. Get it done. #Flu#COVID19#Vaccination
