Estevan

I was out for a Moose Cruise Wednesday afternoon when I came across 5 moose in some brush. They slowly made their way to another bunch of trees and seemed pretty content. 

After about 15 minutes this guy decided, he was going to separate from the rest of them and make a run for it. He wanted across the road where I was sitting and there was no changing his mind. When a moose decides it's time to go, they go! He blew by me like a bullet, once across the road he paused and looked back as if it was a bet with his buddies.

The Southeast Military Museum has banners up around the community once again, honouring the many veterans who gave their lives for the country.

Estevan residents can find those on 4th Street, Kensington Avenue, King Street, and other major roadways. However, Estevan isn't the only town displaying the banners, as the museum has partnered up with a number of different communities for the project.

Craig Bird, President and Curator of the Southeast Military Museum, says the project has grown quite a bit over the years.

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is urging chiefs to vote in favour of a landmark child welfare deal with Ottawa, saying she doesn't think a better agreement would be possible under a different federal government.

Some chiefs are campaigning to vote down the $47.8-billion child welfare reform agreement at an assembly in Calgary this week.

After running unopposed in the mayoral race for Roche Percee, incumbent Jay Riedel is looking forward to his next term in office. Being elected in 2020, he had big goals for the small village outside of Estevan -- goals that he was able to achieve. 

The leaders of the two parties who are considered the front-runners in the Saskatchewan provincial election took to the debate stage Wednesday evening, fielding questions from a panel of four journalists, while trying to make their case to the voters of Saskatchewan. 

The Estevan Legion is getting ready to start its annual poppy campaign once again collecting donations to help out veterans.

Legion President Frosty Forrest says people will see volunteers out in the community later this fall.

Just under a year.

That's how long it took for Bridget Thimsen to crochet over 350 toques, slippers and Afghan scarves. She's planning on donating every single one to the Estevan Community Hamper and Angel Tree this Christmas. 

"I'm supporting the Angel Tree because I feel they need some warm clothes for the winter and something to cuddle up with."

Her project started around Christmas time last year to help her combat her bulimia. Thimsen has been battling the eating disorder for over six years, and she needed to keep her hands busy.

The Estevan Police Service was busy on Thanksgiving day with calls coming in from the community.

One of the reports they received was of a theft/fraud that came into EPS. Initial investigation found that a business took payment for work and failed to complete it, with the matter still under investigation.

Members also received a report of a theft of a cell phone and debit card. After responding to the situation officers determined the subject of the complaint were four young people who were warned of their actions, with the property recovered.
