Estevan
Estevan (Assiniboine: į́yoȟnoga ) is the eighth largest city in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located approximately 16 km (9.9 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. The Souris River runs by the city. This city is surrounded by the Rural Municipality of Estevan No. 5.
History
The first settlers in what was to become Estevan arrived in 1892, along with the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was incorporated as a village in 1899, and later became a town in 1906. On March 1, 1957, Estevan acquired the status of a city, which, in Saskatchewan terms, is any community of 5,000 or more.
The name origin is attributed to George Stephen's Registered Telegraphic Address, Estevan. George Stephen was the first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1881 to 1888.
On December 22, 1915, the 152nd (Weyburn-Estevan) Battalion, CEF was authorised and recruited men from the area before departing to Great Britain on October 3, 1916.
Estevan was the site of the notorious Estevan Riot in 1931. Although most of the strikers were from nearby Bienfait, the strike is associated with Estevan because it was in this city that the demonstrators were met by members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. After the subsequent riot, which lasted 45 minutes, three strikers lay dead. It was later proven that the three miners had been killed by the RCMP. The miners had been organized by the Workers' Unity League.

Estevan
by: Ghoti HookOnce there was a time when I was too naive
But that was all changed when you set your eyes on me
You claimed you were a friend a harmless little touch
But then my life shattered when that touch was too much
[Chorus:]
I don't know when I will start to feel again
The heart inside of me in pain
Oh my memories they burn slowly in my mind
It's burning what i have away
I wrestle with my thoughts becoming more defiled
For now there is a hate where love used to reside
Now I cannot find the strength to life my head
Where there once was honor lies deprivatiy instead
[Chorus]
One day it will shine again
This cloud will be no longer
When that day comes I'll know why
Because I've been made stronger
I'm facing whats ahead by what is in my past
A terrible chapter for the writer to have grasped
The trials that seem so hard are hard to comprehend
I face my life keeping a one eye on the end
