Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Saskatchewan jury members will be making a little extra money next month.
The jury allowance is being bumped up to $110 per day in both civil and criminal trials.
The change is effective September 1.
Before the new policy, jurors in criminal trials made $80 every day. Civil trials only paid out $15.
The provincial government is also adding a payment for people with children or dependents.
They’ll give up to $40 a day for childcare and $80 to cover care for the elderly and other dependents.
However, it’s not all increases. They will be cutting the current $15 allowance they give out at the jury selection process in civil trials.
