Just under a year.

That's how long it took for Bridget Thimsen to crochet over 350 toques, slippers and Afghan scarves. She's planning on donating every single one to the Estevan Community Hamper and Angel Tree this Christmas. 

"I'm supporting the Angel Tree because I feel they need some warm clothes for the winter and something to cuddle up with."

Her project started around Christmas time last year to help her combat her bulimia. Thimsen has been battling the eating disorder for over six years, and she needed to keep her hands busy.

The Estevan Police Service was busy on Thanksgiving day with calls coming in from the community.

One of the reports they received was of a theft/fraud that came into EPS. Initial investigation found that a business took payment for work and failed to complete it, with the matter still under investigation.

Members also received a report of a theft of a cell phone and debit card. After responding to the situation officers determined the subject of the complaint were four young people who were warned of their actions, with the property recovered.

An Estevan doctor is facing practice restrictions as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) is opening an investigation.

Dr. Alexander Arthur has currently restricted their practice as CPSS received two complaints from female patients which alleged improper conduct by the doctor.

As such, Dr. Arthur has agreed to have a practice monitor present for any professional encounter with female patients pending the outcome of the investigations.

The Estevan Bruins have been on a hotter streak since the start of the season, with the team avoiding a regulation loss throughout their games last week.

Representatives of a British Columbia Sikh temple whose president was shot dead last year, as well as the Sikh independence group he was involved in, say their communities won't feel safe until India's consulates in Vancouver and Toronto are shut down.

That's after the Canadian government expelled six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner, and the RCMP announced on Monday it had evidence of their alleged involvement in crimes including homicide and extortion targeting the so-called Khalistan independence movement.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Spokesperson for the RCMP, Keely Grasser, says it’s important to be aware of circulating cybercrimes. She notes several common ones they encounter, beginning with phishing scams. 

“Phishing scams are when scammers use emails, text messages or social media posts or messages to send what appear to be legitimate websites but when you click on these links, it could lead you to a compromised website or to a website that may urge you to input some of your personal information which then could be stolen.” 

Canada's emergency preparedness minister says the passengers of an Air India flight that landed in Iqaluit due to a bomb threat remain stuck there, and he has approved a request for the military to help them.

Harjit Sajjan posted on X late Tuesday that the airline "hasn't found a solution" after the plane landed in Nunavut's capital with 211 passengers on board earlier in the day and that they are "stranded."
