The Saskatchewan Rush are pleased to announce a new partnership with Golden West Broadcasting to extend our radio coverage of away games across the province.  

The partnership features seven away games being broadcast with live play-by-play on CJ1150. Fans will be able to tune in to all the action on the road, starting with the pre-game show and closing with the fan-driven interactive post-game show. 

As the holiday season comes to a close, it’s time to bid farewell to your Christmas tree. If you're unsure where to dispose of it, here’s what you need to know:

A drop-off location for natural Christmas trees will be available until January 10th. The designated bin is located on the east side of City Cemetery Road, just south of the cemetery gates.

The bin is for organic tree waste only – no garbage or plastic will be accepted. Before dropping off your tree, be sure to remove all ornaments, tinsel, and other decorations to ensure proper recycling."

After many entries from the community, we found ourselves the SNUGGLIEST Christmas Sweater! 

Everyone -- meet Brian Hayes and his daughter!

“If you come in the store looking for a gift… or something for yourself… and can’t find it, it probably doesn’t exist!”

Impressions Gift Company is open later than ever for the holiday season. Co-owners Mandy and Brad Wilson have stocked their shelves with local Saskatchewan-made and Canadian-made products, as well as plenty of popular items.

“We have some product from the US, but we try to keep it Canadian as much as possible,” Brad shares. “Most everything here you won’t find in other places locally- there’s some overlap, but for the most part, it’s all unique.”

The opportunity was almost too good to be true.

This December, Southeast Saskatchewan won’t need to travel far to experience the excitement of the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). The Estevan Exhibition Association is hosting Where Vegas Meets Country, a three-day extravaganza inspired by the iconic Las Vegas event. Kicking off on December 5, the celebration offers something for everyone.

According to new public opinion research from the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), 70 percent of Canadians admit to speeding in a residential area at least once in the last year, half say they regularly speed on the highway, and fully one in five drivers say they regularly drive well over the speed limit.

“Higher speeds reduce drivers’ reaction time and increase the risk to themselves and everyone else,” said Kristine D’Arbelles, senior director, public affairs, CAA National.

Yesterday, YOU, the community, came out and supported food banks all over the southeast by donating non-perishable items and cash for the Blow Away Hunger Food Drive! Southern Plains Co-op locations in Estevan, Carlyle and Oxbow participated in the 12-hour event that saw the community give to the less fortunate. 

Since 1946, Southern Plains Co-op has been a cornerstone of local communities. Today, the organization celebrated the grand opening of its new food store in Carlyle.

Southern Plains Co-op General Manager Brian Enns said the new store is part of the Co-op's efforts to meet community needs and expand operations.

"Some of the things we've done in recent years include building a new grocery store with a convenience gas bar and a liquor store in Oxbow. We've also added a couple more liquor stores, one in Carlyle and one in Estevan," Enns said.

The Estevan Minor Football (EMF) had a stellar season this year with franchise firsts and a renewed interest for female tackle football.

"I mean for support from the community, the crowds that came out this year, they were pretty pretty big from the previous years. Especially when you have two playoff home games this year, that's never...happened before either, from one team anyways," shared EMF president Pat Ford.
