Estevan Mercury

One of the things that we’ve seen during the past six weeks, time after time, is that adversity has brought out the best in many of us.

The Estevan Chamber of Commerce elected a new president during its annual general meeting Wednesday morning. The meeting was held via a conference call due to crowd size restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The City of Estevan’s water intake project continues to make progress, and should be complete before the end of the spring.

The Trackside Motocross Association is open for its members to ride and to practice, but it won’t be holding races for a while yet. President Bryce Friess said the facility is for local riders only.

The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) has turned to the Internet in an effort to continue offering some programming.

The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) are encouraging local residents to light a candle in honour of the annual Day of Mourning on April 28.

The City of Estevan has not been forced to reopen its budget as of yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new senior pastor of the Estevan Alliance Church certainly picked an interesting time to come to the community. Craig Hollands started on the job on April 1.

While many people are staying home during the pandemic, for the Estevan Humane Society these times weren't all that quiet.
