Sometimes the most powerful ideas don’t come from a boardroom — they come from the back pasture. This August, the Southeast TechHub is launching a hands-on initiative with SaskBeef that puts innovation boots-on-the-ground. The concept is simple but impactful: bring innovators out to a working ranch, let them see real-world challenges up close, and help them build solutions that actually fit the industry’s needs.

A woman is facing multiple charges after police seized cash and cocaine during a search of a home in south Estevan.

The Estevan Police Service Drug Intelligence Unit executed a search warrant on July 10 under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Officers seized approximately $10,000 in cash and cocaine with an estimated street value of $2,000.

As a result, 35-year-old Christina Strong of Estevan has been charged with trafficking cocaine, possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

The City of Estevan says a seasonal algae bloom is behind the recent earthy or musty taste and smell reported in the local drinking water supply.

The issue, which is common during prolonged periods of hot weather, is caused by naturally occurring compounds released by algae in the source water. While the odour may be noticeable to some residents, the City says the water remains safe to drink and meets all provincial and national standards.

We take a lot of advance equipment for granted these day. Farming has come a long way since people had to tend to their fields by hand in southeast Saskatchewan. However, every now and then, a reminder of where we came from and how we processed our food will help us appreciate the food that we have today. 

That's the goal of the annual Threshermen's Reunion event in Frobisher, set for this Sunday July 13. 

Summer in Estevan is anything but slow. From bustling community events to after-hours mingles and midday golf tournaments, local professionals are keeping busy while the sun shines. In the thick of it all is the Estevan Chamber of Commerce — helping connect people, advocate for the region, and spotlight the businesses that make it thrive.

It was a scorching hot day in Estevan, but the community still came out and supported the Taste of Summer Charity Barbecue with Kingston Midstream. This week, we cracked a new record for money raised for a charity this year. 

It’s a big summer at the Souris Valley Theatre with excitement on stage and behind the scenes. With two parody-packed musicals and a full lineup of drama camps for kids, there’s something for everyone this season at Woodlawn Regional Park.

Audiences can expect plenty of laughs and catchy tunes with YellowStone – A Wild West Musical, running in July, and Golden Girls Vacation, which takes over the stage in August. But the spotlight isn’t just for the pros — young performers will also get their time to shine thanks to the Melodye Pierson Youth Summer Drama Camps.
