Estevan Patriots clean up discarded masks at several locations

Members of the Estevan Patriots and other volunteers were out on Saturday, picking up discarded masks that were left in ditches and boulevards from four areas in the community.

More than two dozen people met up at the Wylie-Mitchell building in central Estevan and then fanned out to four different locations in the community: the Southern Plains Co-op’s Estevan grocery store, Clifton’s No Frills, the Estevan Comprehensive School and Walmart.

They picked up 1,055 masks. Some of the volunteers also picked up gloves and other debris that had collected during the past few months.
