As mayor of the “Sunshine Capital of Saskatchewan” I would like to welcome you to our City Website. It is hoped that the changes that have been made in this website will make it much more user friendly and allow you to access those areas that you need information on. I think you will find that our City is ready and willing to work with the residential and business community to make our City a hospitable destination for all whether you are planning to visit or to work. If you have any suggestions to make this website better or if you have any other questions regarding our city please call me at 634-1801 or 421-6113 or e-mail me at Mayor@Estevan.ca

Sidewalk Clearing

Residents are reminded to clear the snow and ice from walkways around their home and to ensure that there is safe access to the water, power and energy meters.  This reduces the risk of slips, falls and injuries to our personnel.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

Fitness Center  Hours
The recent decision to close the Fitness Centre at the Leisure Centre at 9PM was made by management for the following reasons:
 
1. Patron Usage - we average less than 1 person after 9:00 pm for the months of September and October 2011. 35 of the 62 days in that period, there was no one in attendance after 9:00PM. 
2. Safety – our trained lifeguards can attend to any medical issue or accident that... may occur in the fitness centre. Their shift and pool is closed at 9PM. 
3. Security / Accountability – The majority of our staff is finished their shift between 9PM and 10PM, they have many closing duties to do before then. At 9PM everyone will check out of the fitness centre, minimizing any chance for damage/theft or incorrect use of the equipment. 
 
We apologize for any inconvenience and the short notice. 
 
The Fitness Centre is open: 
Monday – Friday 6AM – 9PM
Saturday –9AM – 9PM
Sunday - 12PM – 9PM
Stat Holidays – 12PM – 5PM

Provincial Grant Available

Rental Accommodation remains in short supply and the City of Estevan is pleased to announce that the new Zoning Bylaw will allow for secondary suites such as “granny flats” and suites over garages as a discretionary use in the residential areas of the City. We are also pleased to announce that the CANDO Tax Incentive Program now provides for a year of construction and 1st four years after of a full property tax exemption on any rental unit constructed in Estevan including secondary suites. 

The Province also has a Secondary Suite Program where they can provide a grant for up to 50% of the costs of construction to a maximum of $ 24,000.  All the pieces are in place to allow individual property owners to become involved in providing rental accommodation and helping to fight the most limiting issue to growth for our area.  For further information about this opportunity please contact:
