The fi rst settlers in what was to become Estevan arrived in 1892, along with the expansion of the Canadian Pacifi c Rail-way. It was incorporated as a village in 1899, and later became a town in 1906. On March 1, 1957, Estevan acquired the status of a city, which, in Saskatchewan terms, is any community of 5,000 or more.The name origin is attributed to George

Stephen’s Registered Telegraphic Ad-dress, Estevan. George Stephen was the fi rst President of the Canadian Pacifi c Railway from 1881 to 1888.On December 22, 1915, the 152nd

(Weyburn-Estevan) Battalion, CEF was authorised and recruited men from the area before departing to Great Britain on October 3, 1916.Estevan was the site of the notorious

Estevan Riot in 1931. Although most of the strikers were from nearby Bienfait,

the strike is associated with Estevan be-cause it was in this city that the dem-onstrators were met by members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. After the subsequent riot, which lasted 45 min-utes, three strikers lay dead. It was later proven that the three miners had been killed by the RCMP. The miners had been organized by the Workers’ Unity League.****Visit the Souris Valley Museum to fi nd our more of the culture and history offered in Estevan.****

In Estevan we like to get outside and enjoy a round of golf. We have three family friendly courses that are de-signed with ability in mind.

TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course is a beau-tiful 18 hole course that is both chal-lenging and entertaining. The pro shop does a great job organizing mens and ladies nights, couples nights as well as numerous tournaments throughout the season. Plus they have a great junior program that the next Jack Nichlaus might come from.

Hidden Valley Golf Course has a great family atmosphere and is great for working on your short game with chal-

*Junior Rates Only

lenging holes. Water, sand and brush make great obstacles to refine your skills. Cart rentals are available as well as a concession, mini golf and driving range.

Mainprize Golf Course is 57kms outside of Estevan and is another great 18 hole course filled with beautiful rolling hills. Make sure you bring your drivers since the course has some long holes. Anything that you need the course staff is happy to help.

Golf is a great way to spend time outdoors and with family. Beware of the weather, bring sunscreen and mosquito spray and enjoy the courses in our area!

The defi nition of camping varies greatly from one person to the next. Sleeping in the back of your truck at a roadside camp-ground or packing up your entire home and fi tting it in one of those luxury trailers or fi fth wheels. Whatever your version is, Es-tevan has the resources to fi ll your camp-ing desires.

There are four campgrounds near Estevan with the farthest being 12 kms outside of the city. Beaches, fi shing, playparks, golf courses everything for your outdoor fi x.

Hidden Valley has seasonal sites only so

you must book early. Woodlawn Regional Park Boundary and Souris sites have seasonal as well as nightly rates and Super 6 Campground is great for those arriving late at night, since it is right along the major highway.

It really doesn’t matter where you do it or how you do it. What does matter is that you get out-side, breath the fresh air, gaze at the stars, listen to the birds chirp and the wind blow, smell like a campfi re for days on end and love every second of it. It truly is one of life’s greatest pleasure and is sure to leave you with some of your fondest memories.

Estevan Snowmobile ClubThe Estevan Snowmobile Club maintains around 250 km of trails in the southeast. Main trails run from Estevan to Benson, Lampman, Wilmar and Arcola with warm-up/safety shelters in between.

The club has been in operation for more than 15 years and operates on a membership basis. Snowmobilers from out of province are able to ride on their groomed trails as long as they have a snowmobile license.

Estevan MotorSpeedwayRace day will bring you “sit on the edge of your seat” experi-ence at the Estevan Motor Speedway. Its’ 3/8 mile high-banked oval dirt track and grandstand puts you above the track so you can see what is happening all the time.

Each night there are three regular classes that race bi-weekly where the drivers compete for the nightly purse and points for the track, regionally and nationally.

The Estevan Motor Speedway has special events throughout the race season including Monster trucks, Box Car Races and many others.

Estevan Drag Racing Associa onWhat a thrill to spend an afternoon as two vehicles race down the track.

The Estevan Drag Racing Association has been in our community since 2003 and pits a large variety of auto-mobiles; bikes, cars and trucks. The drag racing commu-nity is a large one and holds a lot of fans in the Estevan area. Some of the modifi cations done to these vehicles are something to be in awe of and spectators may have a chance to get up close and personal with the cars and their drivers.

The races are held at the Estevan Airport with plans in the works, of making a permanent home near the Shand Power Station in the near future.

Trackside MXEither get your motor running and head down to Trackside MX for some awesome races or come out and watch all the action from the grandstands.

Trackside MX has a diverse terrain with 3 valley sections, over and under bridge, step-on and step-offs, big doubles and rythmn section. There is also a kids track to develop skills for those new to the sport.

If you are coming to Estevan for the track; camping and RV space is available onsite.

Most of the racers belong to the Southeast Corner Racing Circuit that has events throughout the Southeast in our sur-rounding communities.

The adrenaline is working when you feel like you are fl ying, without the plane.

Roche Percee is 20 km east of Es-tevan in the valley of the Souris River is home to what the locals call “The Rocks”. It has large sandstone deposits in which some caves have formed. The name of the village comes from the Mé-tis name of the rock formations which mean “pierced rock” in French.Many locals spend time here on pic-

nic’s and letting the kids wander and explore through this Roche Percee Pro-vincial Historic Site. During the Winter the hills of Roche

Percee are transformed into a fun to-bogganing site.If you happen to meet any locals while

you are visiting Roche Percee make sure you ask them the story about Rugaroos, It might make you want to search a little deeper into “The Rocks.”

Ice FishingIce Fishing in Estevan is a favourite

pastime of locals. There are a couple main bodies of water that are well known for their ice fi shing hotspots.

Rafferty Dam Reservoir, just a couple kilometers west of Estevan is known for its’ big Jack and Walleye.

Boundary Dam Reservoir, 10 ki-moters south of Estevan is great for Perch, Walleye, Jack and Large Mouth Bass.

License fees and limits are the same year round. While Ice Fishing, a fi sh-erman can have two rods in the water at a time.

Angling Licences are sold at local gas stations and online.

TobogganingFeel like a kid again speeding down

a snow covered hill and making the long trek back up it.

We have a few hills that are known for great tobogganing that many people get use of on beautiful winter days.

A well known hill is the “Westview Hill” located on the 1700 block of 1st Street. There is a “ramp” half way down the hill that adds even more distance and speed.

The Valley in Pleasantdale area is another great hill. Shorter than West-view but steeper and an easier climb. There are different spots that you can get to the Valley. The north part of Cundall Drive is a good starting place.

Outdoor Ice RinksThe outdoor skating season is

weather dependant but usually runs from mid December to early March.

Grab your skating gear and head to the outdoor rink. Each outdoor rink is maintained by different community organizations, local volunteers and the City.

All Rinks are boarded and have hock-ey nets and shovels to clear snow. They also have warm up shacks that have benches and washrooms.

Snowshoeing / Cross Country Skiing on Souris River

Snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing are fast growing sports that are growing in our area. The Souris River is a great place to try out the sport.

The Souris River usually freezes over mid-December until early March, but check conditions before you go out on the ice.

Wander the frozen river bed at your own pace. Pick out wildlife tracks in the snow or admire nature under a beautiful white blanket of snow.

Tour

s

bigger in real lifeEnergy Tours

Few places will provide you with such in-depth, guided tours of the means by which coal fi red plants help generate electricity for our province. Landmarks within the community, Boundary Dam and Shand Power Stations are an integral part of the community. The mammoth size and operations of these marvels can be explored and learned through guided tours. The tours are FREE and provide a great insight into the industry of coal mining.

Tours run from June to August from Tuesday through Saturday. Participants have the option of selecting between two tours, depending on their preference on tour specifi cs and time. The morning tour leaves at 9am from the Visitor Informa-tion Centre, and tours Rafferty Dam and the Boundary Dam Mine site. The Raf-ferty Dam reservoir is the largest body of water in the south eastern corridor.

The afternoon tour departs at 1pm from the Visitor Information Centre as well and tours the Shand Power Station, Shand Greenhouse and the Boundary Dam

Mine site. The Shand Power Station is the most environmentally advanced coal fi red plant in the country.

While drop ins are welcome, it does not guarantee you a spot. To reserve your spot, call the Visitor Information Centre at (306) 634 6044.

Experience fi rst hand the inner work-ings of the mining industry.
