“We had some important legislation we had to get through, we had a budget we wanted to pass so that we could get projects out the door and make those announcements for the communities, and keep the work going in Saskatchewan,” said Carr.
The budget included a number spending commitments for Estevan, including the planning of a new Estevan Regional Nursing Home, the expansion of the addictions treatment centre at St. Joseph’s Hospital, the addition of a Police and Crisis Team for the Estevan Police Service, and funding for additional early years family resource centre in Estevan, through a partnership with the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.
