Cheers and Jeers for April 22

Cheers: Cheers to the crew at the City of Estevan who were responsible for planting and maintaining the city's flower beds last summer. The flowers were so beautiful and so well cared for. Hopefully the same crew is brought back this year.

Cheers to all the new businesses opening their doors in downtown Estevan. It is so nice to see some revitalization in that area. Hopefully everyone gets out and supports all the local entrepreneurs during these tough times.  

 

Cheers to the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum for running a charcuterie box fundraiser for Mother's Day, and to the Estevan Family Resource Center for having their spring flower fundraiser.  

 

Cheers to the resignation of the police chief, and the unity of the community voicing concerns regarding the Estevan Police Service leadership, which lead to his resignation. 

 

Cheers to the wonderful people on Poplar Bay who were out with snow blowers, shovels, etc. to help neighbours clear snow from driveways and sidewalks last week.  

 

Cheers to all of the crews who were out working hard last week following the storm. It wasn’t easy restoring power, clearing roads or removing the snow from the highways and grid roads amid the challenging weather conditions.  

 

Jeers: 

 

Jeers to public health's new location in St. Joseph’s Hospital. Hauling your child there now requires trekking through tiny hallways, under staircases, and into a forgotten dungeon devoid of any natural light.  

Jeers to Deputy Police Chief Murray Cowan for not announcing his resignation yet. What is he waiting for? 

 

Jeers to the rash of scam calls that people in the Estevan area received last week that appeared to be from Tunisia. We have better things to do than to answer a bunch of phone calls from halfway around the world in a short period of time.
