Estevan

This weekend, we're diving into new music with special guests! Eric Ethridge joins us to talk about his latest single and album title track, "Family First." Meghan Patrick will share insights on her newly released album Golden Child, and we’ll play "Whether You Love Me or Not" the first track she released a few months back from this new project. Plus, we’re throwing it back to this week in 2020 with a #1 from Hardy and some exciting news he shared this week.

CPKC had another strong week of grain delivery during Week 10 of the 2024-25 crop year, moving nearly 623,500 tonnes of Canadian grain and grain products October 6th through 12th.

Southeast Saskatchewan is set to bask in another mild weekend, with temperatures above seasonal averages before a significant cool-down next week. As residents enjoy the warmth, a shift in weather patterns is on the horizon, bringing the promise of typical fall conditions.

Christy Climenhaga, a scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said today’s temperature will hover around the seasonal average of about 10 degrees.

While much of the race for city council is proposed of older residents, some young blood is also stepping into the ring with Mathew Dubowski running for a seat.

Dubowski, a 26-year-old who's lived his whole life in Estevan, says that in the past he has had a bad taste in his mouth from the city and was disappointed by it.

Now, he wants to be a part of change for the city and fight to make it better through the council.

With the fall season, Saskatchewan sees numerous bird species passing through on their migration, others leaving for more southern locations, and some coming to stay for the winter.

A few of the province's winged winter residents include Canada geese, snow geese, sandhill cranes, juncos, a plethora of ducks, and even a handful of whooping cranes.

Jordan Rustad, conservation coordinator with Nature Saskatchewan, noted most of the province's at-risk species, such as the burrowing owl, have already moved farther south. 

First Nations chiefs have voted to reject a landmark $47.8-billion child welfare reform deal, reached in July with the Canadian government. 

At a special chiefs assembly in Calgary hosted by the Assembly of First Nations, 267 out of 414 chiefs voted against a resolution in support of the deal after a lengthy debate that at points was emotionally charged as they argued either for or against it.

An Amber Alert that had been issued early this evening by Waskesiu RCMP has been cancelled.

The Waskesiu/Montreal Lake RCMP received a report at around 2 p.m. that a five-day-old baby had been taken from a residence on Montreal Cree Nation. RCMP officers responded and the investigation determined that the baby had been taken by the father.

A subsequent investigation led to an Amber Alert being issued at 5:08 p.m. The RCMP noted that the alert stated the baby was taken from the health clinic. The information was gathered during the initial response and was incorrect.

With a final list of nominees on the ballot for the Estevan city council election coming up this November, one candidate is hoping to get onto the council for the first time.

Rhyan Hagel is running for a position on the council, leveraging his experience in post-secondary political settings to drive him forward.

He says he has a vested interest in Estevan and its future.

A common sight this time of year is the boxelder bug, more commonly known as a maple bug. Etymologist James Tansey says the reason for their numbers this time of year is due to their preparations for the cold weather.
