City of Whitehorse cites ‘scarce resources’ in defence of snow removal inadequacy claims
November 3, 2024
The City of Whitehorse denies its snow removal policies make transit stops and parking inaccessible for people with disabilities, defending itself against claims made in a lawsuit by pointing out its snow removal budget is limited with “scarce resources.”The city filed a statement of defence in a proposed class-action lawsuit launched in September on behalf of people with disabilities who allege the city’s failure to remove snow and ice at bus stops and around accessible parking spots make them “second-tier” citizens.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government is making major changes to auto insurance, including allowing rate hikes and switching to a predominantly no-fault claims model.Under the new system, car accident victims in most cases won’t be able to sue the party responsible for their injury and, instead, insurers would pay compensation at rates set by the government.By cutting down litigation costs, the government estimates that when the new system is in place in 2027, it could lead to savings of up to $400 per year for the average insurance premium.
