Myself and my kids, 18,12,9 and 3 and 17 month old grandaughter have been here in estevan for a year and a half. Shopping; Personally i like no frills supermarket up near the high school, as they sell things like milo,lamb,sausages and meatpies! Sobeys supermarket is more like Tescos...the Co-op is pretty basic. Sports...well if your kids like hockey,hockey or hockey..all is good...they do have yankee football...and baseball...soccer/fitba ....we are attempting to bring cricket to life here! none of my kids are in sport yet, as we need healthcards...still waiting. My kids are in Westview school, I dont know much about the high school? And work?? everyone works to keep up with the Jones's.... :ranger:

hey there, we came straight from Sydney, however my hubby is Canadian, he works in the oil patch. Im not allowed to work until I have a work visa!!!! we are going through the spousal class immigration, so me and kids need to get our stupid visitor visa updated every six months...so although we permanently live in Canada...we have no rights whatsoever tell your kids no need to be shy...mine are Aboriginal (bi-racial) and just go with the flow...theyve made loads of mates here...kids from other countries are treated like celebrities! Ive never been to Ireland, would love to go have a looksee, but ive lived in Scotland, as my parents and brother are Scots...i was an immigrant baby of the seventies lol....

i forgot to add, my eldest daughter (18) has her aussie learners permit, but is a bit windy about driving on "the wrong side of the road" it took me 3 months to get the hang of it

We have mosquitos, black flies, deer flies, etc... They come out in spring, can die off a bit from the summer heat in areas away from slow moving water, but basically last until Fall... Buy some insect repellent (Deep Woods, Off!), and hope you don't get West Nile!! ;-)

PS - I got eaten alive by midges while camping in Ireland once, so, there is that sort of stuff there too!

Hi im from ireland and have moved to estevan last month. My two boys are in Westview school and are loving it. I find it very quiet here, not much to do or see. People are very friendly and helpful which is great when your trying to settle into a new country. So how are you getting on?.

Hi we should meet for a coffee ,where are you from.
