Cheers to all of the people who were out walking this winter before the temperatures plummeted. If your new year’s resolution is to exercise more, it means you have to do something during the winter months.

 

Cheers to the Estevan Humane Society for finding a way to host its annual Whiskers and Wine gala this year. It will mean a great meal for all of the supporters.

 

Cheers to the number of topics that were on the agenda for Monday night’s meeting of Estevan city council. Hopefully we’re going to have more meetings like that this year, with plenty to discuss.

 

Cheers to the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure employees who have responded quickly to keep our highways drivable amidst the recent adverse weather we’ve experienced.

 

Cheers to all of the teachers for their resilience during the school year so far. It hasn’t been easy, but they’ve done all they can to teach our kids and keep them engaged.

 

Jeers: 

 

Jeers to those who are unfairly targeting the energy sector with baseless criticisms. If you don’t like the oil and gas sector, then it’s also time to ditch all your products and services connected to oil and gas. Enjoy sitting in your nice, heat-free home.

 

Jeers to whoever decided to dump trees on city-owned property last week. These properties are not your personal dump. Take your garbage to the landfill.

 

Jeers to people who blow through four-way stops or who don’t understand how uncontrolled intersections work. It creates a hazard for everyone else on the roads.
