Hillcrest Early Learning Centre is inviting families from across the community to enjoy a day of games, treats, and togetherness at its upcoming Family Fun Day on June 21. Running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Doug Third Hall, the event doubles as a fundraiser for an improved outdoor learning environment — and promises a little something for everyone.

A successful Day of Caring and big plans for Telethon #49 have the Estevan United Way off to a strong start in 2025. Executive Director Heidi Hesselink joined the SUN 102 morning show to reflect on the energy and community involvement during Day of Caring and to share what’s coming next — including Estevan’s longest-running annual fundraiser.

You can snag yourself a sweet golfing package to 12 of the best golf courses throughout the southeast - while helping bring necessary MRI services to southeast Saskatchewan!

The “Golf the Southeast” raffle held by the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation, which features a prize package of 12 donated golf experiences from communities across the region, will be drawn Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. at the hospital.

St. Joseph's Addiction & Recovery Centre in Estevan has been operating for five years, offering services for individuals experiencing substance use and behavioural addictions. Its approach includes therapy, healthy living supports, and opportunities for community engagement.

Kevin Smith, a long-time staff member at the centre, brings both personal and professional experience to the role. His involvement in recovery began 25 years ago.

Canada Day in Bienfait promises another jam-packed day of fun, food, music, and family-friendly activities — with a few exciting additions for 2024. Recreation Director Sarah Yoner joined SUN 102 to walk through the full lineup, from pancake breakfast to fireworks, and shared what makes this year extra special.

“We want anybody and everybody — from a 90-year-old fiddle player to a 12-year-old comedian — to get up on stage and share their talent.” — Sarah Yoner

Seed n Feed 2025 officially wrapped up today, with the final lunch delivery made to Adams Farms near Outram.

Marlene Adams said seeding is nearly complete, though it has been delayed slightly due to wet soil conditions. She said they’re hoping to finish by the weekend, with just one more good day needed once the ground dries out.

From art nights and scavenger hunts to ice cream floats and open hangouts, the Estevan Public Youth Centre (EPYC) is heading into summer with a full calendar designed to keep local youth engaged, creative, and connected. Co-Executive Directors Bonnie Chepil-Kvamme and Maisy Daoust joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to walk through the month ahead — highlighting the activities young people can look forward to, and the community partnerships making it all possible.

From hotel bookings and restaurant traffic to raffle tables and retail sales, Estevan’s busy summer of sporting events is more than just fun and games — it’s an economic driver. Community Development Officer Becca Foord with the Estevan Economic Development Board joined us to talk about the link between local sports and a thriving local economy, breaking down the surprising impact these events have on businesses of all sizes. With provincial championships, major camps, and hundreds of visiting athletes on the horizon, this summer is shaping up to be a win for everyone.

It was sunny skies and smiles when Seed n Feed made its latest deliveries, offering a much-needed break and a hearty lunch to two local seeding crews.

At 5G Farms near Lampman, Judy Walter and her crew took a well-earned pause to enjoy the visit.

“We’re back in the field after that beautiful rain,” Walter said. “Hopefully a few more days and we’ll be finished wrapping it up. That’s a nice feeling for 2025.”

After a rainy month full of muddy paws and cozy cuddles, one pup stood out—and it’s Yeti, a Jack Russell mix with a big heart and a serious love for walks and naps.

Yeti was adopted from the Estevan Humane Society, and according to his owner Dallas, he’s a total mama’s boy who’s happiest when he’s curled up for a nap or out on a stroll. He’s also got a housemate—Arnie—who’s no stranger to the Perfect Pet Contest either. When asked if Arnie might be jealous of Yeti’s win, Dallas was quick to say they’ll share the spotlight.
