It's the true story of the small town that welcomed the world.

Broadway’s COME FROM AWAY has won Best Musical all across North America!

​The New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.

Over the weekend, the Estevan Police Service assisted the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit in an ongoing investigation, resulting in a 20-year-old Estevan male being charged with child pornography-related offences. 

Just after 12:45 p.m. today, Estevan RCMP reported that a male suspect escaped their custody at St. Joseph's Hospital. Authorities are saying they quickly found the suspect shortly after. 

He was first described as a 30-year-old Caucasian male with a shaved head and beard intact. He was wearing a green shirt and black sweatpants. There was heavy police presence around the area and the authorities are continuing their investigation. 

An Estevan RCMP officer confirmed to DiscoverEstevan that there is no longer a threat to the public. 

Another delicious KFC meal made its way to the field yesterday, marking the latest edition of Grain Rush!

Glenn Forrester, a seasoned farmer with nearly 49 years of experience, reflects on this year’s harvest. Despite favorable weather, Forrester’s yields have been lower than usual. His canola produced between 28 to 30 bushels per acre, and durum wheat yielded 35 to 40 bushels per acre, both facing quality issues. Canola seed sizes are smaller than expected, and the durum wheat hasn't met the desired standard.

We're delivering food to hungry farmers all over southeast Saskatchewan! 

To celebrate the hard-working people who put food on our tables, DiscoverEstevan is sending out a delicious meal for 12 people from KFC. FD4 Farms was one of our winners last week. Blake Fornwald shared that they're about halfway done harvesting their crops, and the KFC lunch was much appreciated. 

A set of fried chicken, sides, and pop delivered right to your farm -- what more could you ask for? 

Grain Rush is back for the 2024 harvest season and it started off with a bang! Dixie Hess signed up her family-run operation, so we surprised her with a hot meal on the field. On our way to the farm, she was actually hauling crops to the bins and we passed her on the way. 

Joel Mryglod doesn’t have to look far for inspiration.

Hanging on the wall behind the Merit Ford managing partner’s desk is a quote from his grandfather: “If you take care of it, it will take care of you.” Initially meant in regards to vehicles, Mryglod continues to apply those words to many things in life.

Two men were arrested on August 28, after a search warrant was executed at a home in Stoughton by members of the RCMP from the Fillmore detachment, and the Saskatchewan Trafficking Response Team based in Yorkton. 

During the search, officers located a firearm, two airsoft firearms, ammunition, a small amount of cocaine, paraphernalia used in the trafficking of drugs, and cash.

A 66-year-old Estevan man has died following a two-vehicle collision on the Highway 39 bypass, east of Highway 47, north of Estevan.

The crash occurred at approximately 7 p.m. on August 30, 2024. Initial investigation determined that a car collided with a semi-truck. The Estevan man was pronounced dead at the scene. The adult male driver of the semi was treated for minor injuries.

Estevan RCMP and the Estevan Police Service responded to the scene. An RCMP collision reconstructionist is continuing to investigate.
