The Editor:
Hats off to a terrific group of individuals who put together a terrific Summer Games event.
Thank you to the Brians, the board and the volunteers.
It made my heart sing, while working at the tennis venue, to hear a guest say “what a beautiful city you have. I don’t remember Estevan being this lovely.”
Well, neither do I, so thank you to our city staff who have begun the work of turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse.
The trees, flowers, the mowed and trimmed grass. It has all worked together to make Estevan a far prettier place than it was 20 years ago.
Everywhere I drive in the city there is evidence of improvement. As they say, we’ve come a long way baby, and we’ve only just begun.
The Summer Games were an unqualified success and Estevan can be very proud of how she presented herself to the rest of the province (I don’t know why I chose the femine, but it seemed apt), the dedication of our volunteers, and the spirit with which the Games were played. It was just one of the best weeks I can remember in Estevan.
Thanks for the memories.
