Deputy Minister of Advanced Education visits Southeast College campuses

Louise Michaud, Saskatchewan's Deputy Minister of Advanced Education, stopped by the Southeast College campuses yesterday afternoon for a meet and greet with faculty and staff.

"I've had the good fortune to be able to go to Whitewood, Weyburn, and Estevan today, so absolutely, it's a fantastic journey meeting some amazing staff and seeing a lot of opportunity for students. I've been in the role for just under a year, and this has been my first opportunity to come to this area."

Operation Clean Sweep beginning this week following delay

The City of Estevan's Operation Clean Sweep begins today, following a delay thanks to the rains which continued into midweek last week. The operation instead begins this week, with operations for city workers beginning today.

Today, crews are cleaning the North, South, East, and West entrances to the city, along with any outlying areas.

The next day, May 28th, will see those crews move into the city and work on cleaning out city-owned properties and green spaces, such as boulevards, medians, parks, and natural areas.
