An article was published to DiscoverEstevan.com on Thursday saying the City of Estevan is applying for a $5 million grant through the Infrastructure Canada Smart Cities Challenge. This article should not have been published, as it was an initiative from 2017. 

The article has been removed and DiscoverEstevan apologizes for the error. 

The City of Estevan provided the following release regarding the topic:

Police in Winnipeg are asking for assistance in locating a woman that has not been seen since March of 2022.

Fans of great deals on an abundance of local goods and services are in luck. The DiscoverEstevan Online Auction is back, with over $60,000 in items for you to save on.

Registration opened Wednesday morning for the auction, with bidding set to begin next Wednesday, February 8.

You can save up to 60 per cent on hundreds of items from around 50 businesses, covering a wide range of categories.

Examples of some items up for grabs are:

The Guns & Gangs Unit began a drug investigation this month regarding the trafficking of cocaine from two residences – one on Dawson Road in Ste. Anne and the other one in the 300 block of Alfred Avenue in Winnipeg. 
 
During the evening of January 27, 2023, the Tactical Support Team executed a search warrant at the Alfred Avenue residence, while the RCMP's Emergency Response Team executed a search warrant at the Dawson Road residence. 
 

Weather forecasters say that Manitobans should prepare for extreme cold not just through the weekend, but into next week at the very least, as "a long period of extreme wind chill is expected as an Arctic air mass sets in over the eastern Prairies."

Environment Canada says that Steinbach and most of southern Manitoba will experience overnight lows tonight of at least -40 if not colder, and the daytime won't be much better. Most of the province is currently gripped under extreme cold warnings on Saturday afternoon.

Connor McClennon scored the lone goal for the Winnipeg Ice Friday night in Lethbridge as the visitors dropped a 2-1 decision to the Hurricanes.

Hayden Smith and Blake Swetlikoff replied for Lethbridge, who earned a split in their four-game regular season series with Winnipeg.

Hurricanes goaltender Bryan Thompson was named the game's first star, making 28 saves while Mason Beaupit, named the second star, suffered the loss for the Ice stopping 26.

Lethbridge went 1/5 on the power play, and Winnipeg was 0/2.

Strong winds gusting up to 70 km/h and fresh snow are creating reduced visibility in blowing snow and Environment Canada has issued blowing snow advisories throughout the Central Plains, Pembina Valley, and Southeast.

Environment Canada says that blowing snow will diminish Friday morning as winds gradually weaken.

In the meantime, travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. The national forecaster says that if visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.

Southern Manitoba will see its third clipper-like system of the week, with a very fast moving low-pressure system descending out of Saskatchewan Thursday night.

Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson announced Thursday morning a $200-million Carbon Tax Relief Fund aimed at helping 700,000 Manitobans cope with the negative impacts of rising winter costs, from food to fuel.

The 2023 Carbon Tax Relief Fund will provide help for all Manitobans who lived in the province on December 31st, 2021, and whose family net income that year was less than $175,000.
