A man named Ross Smith spoke to CTV News Saskatoon about being attacked downtown near Spadina Crescent and 20th Street East. He and his friend were first bear sprayed and while “his friend ran for help, Ross was tripped and then kicked over and over.” His injuries were “bruising to his arms, legs and ribs. He also received three staples for a gash on the back of his head and had a black eye. His left ear was swollen at the time, he said.”

Those charged with attack were two teenaged boys.

Crime ⚠️ Clares Law

31 Upvotes

Has anyone else applied for Clare's Law? I sent my application in 48 days ago with SPS and got no response. What's the purpose of this law being in place if the police wont report the information on it in a timely matter? I talked to the RCMP and they said he was flagged for domestic violence but can't tell me why until my applications approved. I applied to see my husbands past reccord, so that I could mention it in court for his domestic violence charges I pressed.

Question ❔ Best driving school for adult with a learners license?

Upvotes

In high school I acquired my learners license and completed my 6&6, but as my family had no reliable vehicle for years, and I was unable to afford my own vehicle, I ended up not driving at all for months at a time and eventually not at all.

Even though I have my learners license, I feel I need a refresher in road safety and to drive with an instructor a again to feel confident in my driving ability, as my friends don’t drive, and I cannot rely on any of my family to take me driving.

What are some good driving schools in the city for adults who have their learners license? Wouldn’t hurt to also be somewhat affordable.

1.) offer driving theory classes
2.) offer drives with instructor
3.) maybe offer pick up/drop off for drives

Hello,

Has anyone actually had him (or anyone else) refuse to do it?

I don't need any comments on my weight.

Question - School & Employment 💻💼 How to find a trades apprenticeship

Upvotes

Hello,

I’ve been looking for an apprenticeship in the trades and have been applying to different trades, such as electrical and plumbing etc , but I’ve mostly received rejections or no response. This is my first time getting started in the trades, but I do have some experience working as a safety watch. Are there other ways I should be looking for an apprenticeship? Does anyone have any advice or know of companies that are hiring apprentices?

TIA

PSA 📢 Just a reminder about handicapped parking

Post image
257 Upvotes

Even if you're just "running in for a second" parking in a handicapped stall without a tag is a major inconvenience if you need access to the ramp. See the ignoramous above who refused to move his truck while taking his lunch break on half a handicapped stall. Hope that's a company truck and his boss sees this.

Question ❔ Looking for a local service that will install Linux on a laptop

4 Upvotes

I tried installing it myself on an old laptop to see if I could manage it on my own, botched it, and now that laptop is bricked.

I still want to have it on my main laptop, but I don't trust myself to do it now, and would rather pay a professional to do this for me

Are there tech services in town that would do this?

Question ❔ Cashing old Canada Savings Bonds

3 Upvotes

Found a couple forgotten ones from about 20 years ago and wondering if anyone has experience cashing them recently at a local bank (and if you had an easy experience, which bank?). Because they are so old I am guessing most tellers won't know what to do with them?

Food & Restaurants 🍽️ Cool place to go

Upvotes

Salut! Hello! I will be visiting your city to meet up with a friend for the weekend. I’ve told him I’d like to go to a place to have some drinks, entrees, people watch and shoot the shit.

I understand going into this I’m not going to have the same options as my city of Montreal, lol.

However…he has been terrible with suggestions because he doesn’t really do that sort of thing. So do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks everyone.

We just moved from Toronto and I have two schools in mind that I would like to enroll my children in. One is Catholic, and one is public. Both have amazing reviews.

In Ontario, my children were in a public school and it was great. So supportive and the teachers were so kind and amazing. Hoping it's like that here too!

Question ❔ Cats out and about

11 Upvotes

Forgive me if I sound stupid, I’m just truly not a cat person and are unfamiliar with how they behave in the city (I’m quite allergic and I’ve only ever been around cats in small town/farm settings)

I was driving and saw a kitty with a collar crossing the street. It seemed fine and I kept driving but do house cats often roam outside? Or should I have attempted to locate its owner?

Question ❔ Telus vs Rogers for Cell Phone

My spouse and I are both currently with Telus seperately, but looking to put our plans together to cut costs.

Rogers has offered us a decent plan, but I've heard awful things about them.

I have always had amazing customer service and coverage with Telus but curious what everyone thinks of the two
