The Estevan Police Service has charged a 25-year-old Estevan man under the Public Heath Act, following a gathering on Halloween.

Officers were called to a party at a residence in west Estevan when they observed a large gathering of approximately 30-40 people. This gathering was well in excess of the allowable limit for a private residence at the time, which was 15. 

A fine of $2,000 dollars, along with an $800 victim surcharge for hosting the gathering, was levied on the accused.

The EPS released the details Friday. No further information was immediately available.

Police are reminding the public of the importance to follow the guidelines imposed by Public Health. 

Effective Nov. 6, the limit for a private gathering in a residence has been reduced to 10 people.
