Cheers to St. Giles Anglican Church for playing the bells during the Christmas season. It gives us hope, peace and joy in these sad times we are in right now.

Cheers to the Woodlawn Regional Park for the fourth annual Festival of Lights. It’s great to have something to do during the Christmas season, and the displays look terrific.

Cheers to Eddie Webster’s. The effort to keep the menu always fun and fresh is by far the best in town. They have also shown extra effort to keep people engaged in the take-home kits they offer.

Cheers to an honest gentleman. An disabled individual recently purchased an item and the honest gentleman offered to pick up any groceries while he was out. Very trusting young gentleman.  Please everyone be kind. 

Cheers to the Estevan Mercury and Tourism Estevan for the Twinkle Tour Scavenger Hunt. It was a lot of fun to drive through the city and try to find all of the decorations.

 

Jeers:

Jeers to the people who complain about the farmers burning flax straw. Just remember who is growing your food.

Jeers to people hating on others due to the pandemic, and submitting false reports to police that are one-sided stories. Leave one alone and worry about your own activities.

Jeers to the new provincial restrictions that came into effect on Dec. 25 and hindered retailers on Boxing Day. They couldn’t have waited one moe week to limit the number of people allowed in small businesses?
