Val Choo-Foo, In Motion Community Facilitator with the city provides details on the event. 

A fairly new initiative launched by the city of Swift Current aims to provide seniors with an easily accessible calendar of community programs aimed specifically for them.

Krista Caswell, Community Recreation Coordinator with the city explains the main purpose behind the Seniors' Source program.

"The main goal of the Seniors' Source is just to make a one-stop calendar look of things that are being offered for seniors in our community. So those are adults aged 55 and up."

Theatre lovers can see two shows for the price of one tomorrow evening courtesy of the Swift Current Comprehensive High School Drama Department

Drama students will be performing two productions the first of which is called the Stowaway and the second is Dracula's Daughters.

Actor Mapalo Mushoriwa says the second production incorporates some funny dark humor. 

"It's a really funny comedy, sort of like dark humor but it's very family friendly. It's about Dracula's daughters finding suitors and it's really a good laugh."

Mother's Day is just around the corner and Magic 97.1 is giving you a chance to show Mom your heart by taking her to see HEART. 

Each weekday morning this week listen to the morning show on Magic 97 and listen for your cue to call in and qualify. 

We have two pairs of tickets to see Heart's "Royal Flush Tour" live in Saskatoon this November with special guest Bachman-Turner Overdrive featuring Randy Bachman.
