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.

Carlyle RCMP have charged a man in connection with a serious assault that took place on White Bear First Nation late last month.

He was transported to the hospital with what were described as serious injuries. An update on his condition is not available.

School’s out, and the Estevan Public Youth Centre is gearing up for a summer of fun with a little extra help from a familiar face. Osama Kamel is back at EPYC — but this time, not just as a participant. Now a summer student, Osama joined Co-Executive Director Bonnie Chepil-Kvamme on the SUN 102 Morning Show to talk about what’s ahead this July. From parking lot badminton to a late-night swim at the Leisure Centre, the summer calendar is packed with ways for youth to connect, compete and cool off.

The Estevan Community Wellness Committee is taking a hands-on approach to building a safer, more connected community. Through initiatives that address mental wellness, substance use and addiction, education and employment, and victimization, the committee is working to improve quality of life for residents across the city. A newly launched website now offers a central hub for local resources, while monthly games nights provide a welcoming space for people of all ages to gather.

UPDATE: As of 7:35 pm, SaskAlert has dropped the Tornado Warning placed on the area around Redvers. They have now changed it to a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, but a tornado is no longer imminent. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada is still warning the public that a system is passing through the area that is capable of producing strong winds, large hail and localized flooding due to heavy rains.

A tornado is still possible, though, the weather agency warns.

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.
