Although recent rain brought seeding to a temporary halt, local farmer Murray King was all smiles when he received a lunch delivery through Seed N Feed presented by Mack Auction Company.

King, who farms near Frobisher, said this year’s seeding got off to a strong start, with only a few minor mechanical issues before the rain hit.

“We had a good start to the season, besides a few little minor breakdowns,” he said. “I guess we could have probably been done before the rain, but I need four days, it'll dry up, and we’ll get ’er done.”

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is calling on Estevan residents to step forward and support the local Meals on Wheels program, which is in urgent need of volunteers.

Deborah Augey, Volunteer Coordinator with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to share how Estevan residents can get involved with the Meals on Wheels program — and how meaningful the experience can be not just for recipients, but for volunteers as well.

“People feel good by doing good. It warms our hearts — both the recipients and our own.”

Dagan and Trey Olson started their first business almost by accident.

“The idea came because I was building a shop,” recalls Dagan, who along with brother Trey were oilfield professionals at the time. “While researching how to be as efficient as possible, we saw the opportunity to offer the spray foam service in the area at an affordable rate.”

In Estevan, a grassroots movement is reimagining the future of coal — not as just a fuel of the past, but as a material with new potential in battery technology and critical minerals. Through local innovation and community-driven efforts, there’s growing momentum to extend the life of coal in new, sustainable ways.

“Coal’s life is not over — it’s being added on to.”
— Gordon More, Executive Director, Southeast Techhub

The people of Estevan have proven their generosity once again, raising $50,046 through the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign — the biggest total yet. Funds were split between EPYC (Estevan Public Youth Centre) and the Estevan Early Years Family Resource Centre, with plenty of gratitude to go around for volunteers, local businesses, and cookie lovers.

A local family is trying to rebuild their lives after a devastating house fire left them with nothing but the clothes on their backs — and an outpouring of support from the community.

Taylor Brandon Cote, who lived in the home with his sisters, recounted the terrifying morning when he woke up to find their living room engulfed in flames.

“I was in bed at that time and I heard the fire alarm go off,” he said. “I opened up my bedroom door and there was smoke up to my chest. I looked to my left and my whole entire living room was engulfed in flames.”
