This tour gives visitors a chance to explore the streets of Estevan and learn about the rich history and interesting stories that lie in the buildings that were instrumental in creating Estevan as it is today, said Rebecca Westling, destination marketing and communications consultant for the City of Estevan. The city wanted to resurrect the tour for a while. Last fall, they launched the Backroads of Estevan audio tour, which helped them to gauge the interest in the history of the area. The audio tour turned out to be a success, and the city decided to go ahead and develop a new product, looking at more specific aspects of the local history.
The tour s core route and stories still mirror the original tour but with added bonuses of trivia, photos, audio playback and directions, and focuses on the stories of people who lived in the homes rather than the architecture itself. Not to worry, though; architecture still plays a key role but has stories intertwined. We are thrilled to partner with Tourism Estevan on this one-hour audio-guided tour,” said Souris Valley Museum executive director Mark Veneziano. “Where participants can explore the historic downtown core and listen to fascinating commentary about the city s architecture, vibrant culture, and storied past. The Historical Walking Tour is free, and users can participate by downloading the Tripvia app, or follow along on the website at www.estevan.ca under visitors and tours.

On our side of the border however, things are a little bit different. The federal government’s latest target is to have enough vaccine for every Canadian by Canada Day, which means that after we get all those shots into everyone’s arms, it will likely be mid-to-late September.
