The Estevan Public Library is rolling out a full calendar of events this July, with something for every age group. From the return of the TD Summer Reading Club to author talks, magic shows, and hands-on workshops, the library is offering a season packed with creativity, learning and community connection. Jason Redshaw, Branch Manger for the Estevan Public Library joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to share some details.

“We have more prizes this year—and a lot of really cool prizes. Bikes, telescopes, microscopes.”

When people think of summer in Estevan, they picture hot dogs, paddling pools, and pancake breakfasts — but they might not realize how much these events are fueling community connection. In this month’s SUN 102 interview, Councillor Kirsten Walliser shares how the City’s “Coffee with Council” series and summer programming are creating space for conversation, celebration, and civic pride.

We have our June Perfect Pet winner, and it’s Max! This playful pup captured hearts with his love for the outdoors, where he spends his time running around the yard and enjoying everything summer has to offer.

When people think of summer in Estevan, they picture burgers, golf clubs, and standing ovations — but they might not realize just how much those things drive our economy. From weekly community barbecues and packed charity golf tournaments to the much-loved Souris Valley Theatre and returning summer concerts, events big and small generate real economic impact. Community Development Officer Becca Foord with the Estevan Economic Development Board returned to talk about BBQs, teamwork, and being a tourist in your own town.

The second Taste of Summer charity barbecue was a big success, raising $1,198 in support of the Estevan Public Youth Centre (EPYC).

The event, held in partnership with Kingston Midstream, took place outside Shoppers Drug Mart, with hot dogs and hamburgers being served to the community.

Funds raised will help support EPYC’s programming and benefit youth in the community.

Summer is officially here in southeast Saskatchewan, and it’s already been an exciting one! From grad celebrations and parade day fun to the thrills of the Energy City Ex, there's been no shortage of moments to remember. We’ve even seen a few wild weather days—yes, we’re looking at you, tornadoes!—but through it all, our pets have been right by our side, bringing joy, comfort, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

Southern Plains Co-op is firing up the grills across southeast Saskatchewan next week as Equity Days return with community BBQs and cheque pickups in Estevan, Oxbow, Alameda and Carlyle. Members are invited to enjoy lunch, connect with neighbours, and collect their annual equity cheques in person.

“This is the time where our members get to stop in, say hi, have something to eat for lunch.”

The St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation is celebrating more than just fundraising milestones — it’s honouring a legacy. Executive Director Lori Gervais joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to reflect on the Foundation’s origins, the emotional return of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and how decades of community support have brought Estevan to the brink of a major healthcare achievement.

“We are at $5,870,000. It's craziness. We're $629,000-ish away from our goal, and we've been at this for 14–16 months. It's been a crazy ride.” — Lori Gervais

The first Taste of Summer charity BBQ of the season fired up today at CARSTAR Hail-Otto, drawing a steady crowd and raising $715 in support of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation.

“It was fantastic,” said Lori Gervais, executive director of the foundation. “It’s always great to have community support and see people come out and come for some great BBQ, but also to support the MRI.”

In addition to the BBQ, the foundation also held its annual e-bike raffle draw at the event.
