Miners' strike 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 that lasted 45 minutes, three strikers lay dead. It was later proven that the three miners had been killed by the R.C.M.P. The coal miners had been organized by the pro-Communist Workers' Unity League.
