Estevan

Tonight, the Estevan Chamber of Commerce will let residents hear from the candidates in the provincial election race for the Estevan-Big Muddy constituency.

That forum is being held at the Estevan Legion Hall, with the forum beginning at 7 p.m.

Vice President Tania Andrist talks about why they want to bring out the community.

The Estevan Police Service responded to impaired driving, a hit-and-run accident and a suspicious vehicle in the backroads to start off their week. 

On Monday, EPS responded to a hit-and-run that resulted in extensive damage at a grocery store in Estevan. At this time, police are investigating the situation. 

Members were also dispatched to find a possible impaired driver. After being pulled over, the driver was found to be sober. 

A house fire in Radville displaced the family of Colby and Tanya Henheffer last Sunday night. Since then, their friend and Radville local, Kelly-Ann Joubert, has been collecting funds to support them as they recover from the tragedy. 

“We got the call on Sunday night that their house was burning, obviously we rushed down there. We've always had a really good relationship with them, and it just inspired me obviously to help them because I know if I was in that situation they would really do the same for me.” 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted calls for his resignation for more than a year now but in recent weeks those calls have grown louder and in some cases more public.

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday and Trudeau is expected to be confronted by a group of MPs who have banded together to try and finally convince him to go.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of this meeting. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will face down his own caucus members in a hotly anticipated meeting this morning, as several of them plan to try to convince him to step aside.

Rumours have circulated for weeks about an undisclosed number of Liberal MPs who have signed on to the effort to oust the prime minister in the hopes of improving the party's chances in the next election. 

That promises to make the regular weekly caucus meeting on Parliament Hill extra tense, as Trudeau has showed no signs of stepping down from the top job.

Ottawa marked the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament Hill Tuesday, but for the family of the reservist who was killed that day the memory is still raw.

"I can't believe it's been 10 years. It felt like it was yesterday," said Ephraim Cirillo after a private family ceremony held at the National War Memorial Tuesday morning.

The Saskatchewan Provincial election is just a week away, with the province's parties looking at what they can do for the agriculture sector.

That includes working with other provinces and the federal government and responding to disaster years such as the droughts that have come up through the 2020s.

Trent Wotherspoon is one provincial candidate, who served as the Saskatchewan NDP's official critic for agriculture, finance, and transportation during his previous term.

The Weyburn RCMP are investigating a break-in at Nickle Lake Regional Park.

The RCMP stated in the release that a smaller, two-door truck was involved in the break-in.

The advisory did not have information on when the incident occurred, where the incident occurred in the park, or what potential items were taken. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Weyburn RCMP at (306) 848-4640 or 310-RCMP.

The United Way wrapped up its 48th Annual Telethon over the weekend, raising $380,676 during 33 hours of fundraising reinforcing this year's slogan of You are the Community

“Of course, people can donate throughout the year, and you know at different times, but most of the money comes from the telethon and we have literally hundreds of volunteers helping to put it on,” said Mark Pettitt, president of the Estevan United Way 

“It went amazingly well, we have, as I keep saying, the most generous community in Canada.”

Saskatchewan's voting week has begun, with locations throughout the southeast accepting early ballots.

That's part of an initiative by Election Saskatchewan to help spread out the availability of voting so that more people can find the time to vote. 

From now until October 26, all of the below locations will be accepting early voting between the hours of 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
