A developer wants to build apartments or townhouses on three properties at 700, 702, and 704 Central Avenue in Saskatoon. Right now, these sites are zoned for institutional uses like schools or community centres. The proposal would change that to...
Why This Matters: Live near Central Avenue? This could change what gets built in your neighbourhood. Instead of a school or community centre, you might see a mid-rise apartment building. More housing could mean more neighbours—and more traffic.

Why This Matters: Ever been in a fender bender and had a tow truck appear out of nowhere? Some drivers have been hit with surprise bills of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Worse, some companies won't tell you where your car is until you pay up. If you drive in Alberta, this could happen to you.

When a shipper needs to move freight between two railways, they pay an "interswitching" fee. A court ruled the Agency's method for setting these rates was flawed. Now the Agency is asking: what market factors should influence these regulated rates?
Why This Matters: This is pretty technical, but it affects shipping costs across Canada. Higher interswitching rates mean higher costs for businesses moving goods by rail. Those costs eventually show up in the prices you pay for products.
