Estevan’s summer economy sizzles with shows, charity BBQs, and community tournaments
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.
Taste of Summer BBQ raises nearly $1,200 for EPYC
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.
