The City of Prince Albert’s proposed residency policy will return to the council table Tuesday.
The policy was last discussed at a council meeting in April when it was sent back to executive committee for further clarification.
The policy would make it mandatory for all out-of-scope employees to live within city limits or be terminated from their position. Employees hired prior to the policy’s creation, unionized employees governed by collective bargaining agreements and police, who are governed by the Board of Police Commissioners, would be exempt from the policy. Employees hired for a casual, term or temporary position are also exempt.
“If you’ve been somewhere drinking and you need to get home, you can phone the cab company and let them know you want to use one of those coupons,” she said.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) reports between Dec. 1, 2019 and Jan. 3, 2020, two people were killed, and 30 people injured as a result of impaired driving-related collisions in the province.
How to use a coupon
In total, 400 coupons are available, with 200 each for Grey Cab and Checker/Family Taxi. They’re valid between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. until January 31, 2021.
The Prince Albert Police Service will distribute half the coupons to local licensed establishments. Taxi companies will have the remainder. Let your cab driver know that you want to use a cab coupon when you phone to book a ride.
