Cheers to St. Joseph’s Hospital’s emergency department nurses and Dr. Daniel Garcia for how he introduced himself to a young child when she was brought in Thursday. Their patience and level of care was amazing. We are so incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful and caring health professionals at our hospital.

Jeers to the lack of a vaccine clinic in Estevan thus far. We know that we haven’t been as hard-hit as other areas, but this is still a city and there’s still a risk of spread in the community.

Jeers to the possibility of having the Western Hockey League season this year, but not seasons for junior, senior or minor hockey. Why are some leagues able to play in this province but others aren’t?
