As summer draws to a close in Estevan, the city gathered its residents around a simple but enduring question: how do we spend our time together when the cold comes? Twenty-eight organizations answered that question with open tables and open doors, inviting families, children, and adults alike to find their place in the community before the season turns. It was less a bureaucratic exercise than a quiet act of civic faith — the belief that belonging begins with showing up.
