Mayor Roy Ludwig officially proclaimed October 23-29 as United way in Estevan at a short ceremony in City Hall this morning. 

"Of course the United Way is very important to our community," shared Mayor Roy Ludwig. "They help so many of our people within our community and they do so much good."

"We're proud to be a supporter of the United Way."

He adds that the upcoming United Way Telethon is an event not to be missed. 

"That's always a big success. It is so great how everyone from the community chips in and helps out and does whatever they can to make it a success. We've been probably one of the the most successful in Canada so we have a lot to be proud of."

The United Way Telethon will be held at the Estevan Legion Hall on October 27-28.
