The fire in Radville has destroyed two businesses in that community, caused severe damage to a third, and had impacts throughout downtown Radville Sunday night, as a fire claimed the Long Creek Saloon and a neighbouring restaurant.  

City crews are hard at work around the city, refreshing Estevan in a number of ways during the construction season.

Estevan's City Safety Coordinator Helen Fornwald explains some of the crews on the streets.

"Mandan has really good competition. But, you know, [it] goes to show how good our competition is here in Estevan when we can go down there and compete against those guys," shared Turnbull.

Bronze medals shone brightly too, with the female 4x100 relay team racing to the podium, Anaya Krueger leaping to a medal in triple jump, and Brodie Steeves powering through the 400m male race to secure his place.

While it's unlikely to reach the same extreme temperatures as last week, the weather will be a bit above normal for this time of year.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Andy Yun goes over the conditions that'll settle in the southeast this week.
