Estevan City Council discussed changes to its sewer service policy at last night’s meeting, with Water and Wastewater Services Manager Matt Angell raising concerns about the costs and strain caused by after hours calls.

Currently, the city offers one free auger service per year to residents. Angell explained that while the policy was intended to cover service during business hours, many requests are being made after hours, creating high overtime costs and requiring multiple staff.

From acro yoga flips to aerial swings, meditation circles, and live music, Woodlawn Park became a weekend playground for yoga enthusiasts from across Canada at the fifth annual OM Yoga Festival.

“After COVID, many events were cancelled or postponed, so being one of the few yoga festivals happening in Canada right now really drew people in,” said Kim Mayuk, founder of OM Yoga Studio. “Many attendees are already planning to return next year.”

Harvest is rolling along smoothly for Kelly Ashworth and the crew at Ashworth Farm and Ranch near Oungre.

“We just finished the Durham up and had our lentils done a little earlier,” said Ashworth. “Just starting on canola now, so it’s rolling along.”

While some wet straw has slowed things down slightly, the grain itself has been coming off dry. “The straw is still quite wet. It seems dry in the grain, but it’s a little at the straw,” he explained. Even so, Ashworth said yields have been strong. “Yeah, they’re actually good. We don’t have any complaints.”
