The Carlyle RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance with an attempted arson incident at the White Bear First Nation. In a post on the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network, at approximately 9:30 p.m.

Members of the Estevan Police Service conducted check stops around the city on Canada Day. More than 500 vehicles were checked during that time.

The DC Bombers defended their Souris Valley Ladies’ Softball Association championship in late June and happily posed for the Mercury before an exhibition game.

The City of Estevan celebrated Canada Day Wednesday night with a big fireworks show. A thunderstorm rolled through the city just before 9 p.m., causing the fireworks to be delayed. But at 10:30 p.m.

The Estevan Police Service (EPS) says it will conduct unannounced, focused traffic enforcement initiatives, concentrating on speeding and noisy vehicles, in the coming months.

The Estevan Girls Softball Association is excited that it is able to begin practising for the upcoming season.
