The Souris Valley Museum is preparing for a busy and exciting summer — and bidding farewell to a visiting attraction.

The ACE Academy flight simulator, which has been available to the public in recent months, will be departing this Friday.

Museum director Melanie Memory said they’re also getting ready for their always-popular summer camps, though some have already reached capacity.

What began as a $2 million donation from Elaine Walkom in memory of her husband, Grant, has transformed into a community-wide effort to bring MRI services to Estevan. Last year’s Radiothon for Life raised over $185,000 in a single day, pushing the campaign total past $3.3 million. This year, with a $50,000 kickoff donation from Whitecap Resources and construction underway at St. Joseph’s Hospital, the Foundation is just shy of $5.4 million raised—84% of the way to its goal.

As Estevan prepares for Economic Development Week, the Estevan Chamber of Commerce is ramping up member engagement with a full May calendar and a strong call for feedback.

Executive Director Merissa Scarlett joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to talk about upcoming events, member outreach, and how the Chamber is connecting with the community.

Estevan Flower Crew

Estevan Southern Impact, the local armwrestling club, is ramping up fundraising efforts as members prepare to compete at Provincials in Saskatoon and Nationals in Regina. Funds raised will help with the purchase of competition-grade tables—essential equipment for training and hosting sanctioned events. These specialized tables are height-adjustable and built to exacting standards, allowing for proper hand grips, elbow pads, and peg placement, ensuring athletes can compete safely and fairly.

We had a blast at Sacred Heart School as we celebrated our April Classroom of the Month winners—Mrs. Jaworski’s Grade 5 class! Jude’s name was drawn, earning his whole class a feast from KFC Estevan and sweet treats from the Southern Plains Co-op.

Creighton Lodge is one of several sites across the city set to receive help during the Estevan United Way’s Day of Caring, a long-running event that sees volunteers step up for yard work, painting, and other home maintenance tasks—often for seniors or those facing mobility challenges.

The Estevan Public Library is offering a full slate of events this May, including free tech support, a new children’s book launch, and a financial literacy workshop for teens and adults.

SUN 102 Morning Show host Daniel Espelien sat down with branch manager Jason Redshaw to go over the month’s highlights and how to get involved.

We’re back with another monthly spotlight on everything happening at the Estevan Public Youth Centre (EPYC).
