Estevan

Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants have reached a tentative deal to end a strike that began on Saturday morning.

The airline said it will gradually begin operations Tuesday.

The two sides met through the night with a federal mediator before reaching a tentative agreement that will be brought to members of the Air Canada component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

"Your right to vote on your wages was preserved," the union said in a post on its website announcement the end of the strike.

Today, the Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced the initial list of regions that will qualify for the Livestock Tax Deferral in 2025.

The Estevan Bruins’ third annual Glow Golf Tournament lit up Hidden Valley Golf & RV Resort this past weekend, drawing a sold-out field and plenty of community spirit.

With more than 30 teams participating, the tournament showcased local business teams and community members enjoying a day of golf, camaraderie, and friendly competition. The event featured a unique twist: the front nine holes were played during the day, while the back nine took place after sunset, with fairways and golf carts lit up in creative glow-in-the-dark decorations.

Estevan police responded to 33 calls for service over the weekend, ranging from domestic disputes and well-being checks to traffic concerns and ongoing investigations.

On August 15, officers mediated a domestic disturbance involving family members, connecting those involved with additional services through PACT and Social Services.

That same day, a well-being check was conducted for two youths who had left their residence without permission and were being verbally disciplined by a family member. Police determined there were no immediate concerns.

The President of the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) says he's optimistic that they can reach an agreement that will see the Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) remain part of the national organization.

Last week, ABP gave the CCA notice to withdraw from the national organization as of July 1, 2026, citing among its concerns the organization's funding model, board structure, and representation since Alberta producers contribute over 50 percent to the organization.

Tyler Fulton is optimistic they'll be able to agree on a workable solution for everyone.
