Cheers:
Cheers to the City of Estevan for inviting Elon Musk to view carbon capture and storage technology at SaskPower's Boundary Dam Unit 3 (BD3). We have the world's first fully integrated and full-chain CCS facility on a coal-fired power plant and it most definitely should be recognized.
Cheers to Sobey's customers who donated $3,084 to Toonies for Tummies, and supported local schools’ breakfast programs.
Cheers to the free postcard campaign from Canada Post. Who doesn’t like getting a positive note in the mail?
Cheers to the Estevan Curling Club for organizing the steak supper on Friday night. It was fun, which is something we haven’t had a lot of during the past year.
Cheers to the front-line healthcare workers and the other essential workers who have done yeomen’s work during the past year to continue to meet the needs of the public despite the challenges and ever-changing restrictions we have faced.
Cheers to the St. Joseph’s Healthcare Auxiliary for paying down their purchase of 38 long-term care beds in about two years. It’s amazing the things that this group of women continues to do.
Jeers:
Jeers to the writer of the column regarding the weight and the body positivity movement in last week’s Mercury. Misinformation regarding the personal health of millions of people completely nullifies so-called expertise on the matter.
Jeers to trains blaring their horns several times at the railway crossings in the middle of the night. One night there were several trains, and one of these trains blared their horn six times at the city location.
Jeers to the fact that it’s been a year since the damn pandemic began. For a lot of people it’s a year of their lives that they’re never going to get back.
