The City gave the green light to Kinetic Park, which will host a myriad of events from May till October, the Swift Current 57's, and Long Day's Night Music Festival. All of the events applied in anticipation or in the event they'll be creating excessive noise after 10 p.m.

"I think one of the main things we need to continue to do right now and moving forward is just stay mentally strong. We’ve played seven games, and we’ve got five more to go. We just have to make sure we get good rest and recovery between games here," said Canada's skip Brad Jacobs.

With the weather warming and spring coming to the prairies, producers have been going through calving season with plenty of work for them. 

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan Vice-President Chris Procyk says that, from what he's heard, it's been a decent season in the province.

The City of Swift Current is optimistic that the weather will allow for an easy escape from flooding. 

The last week of cooler temperatures has granted a slow release of the snowpack, which has aided in averting flooding of the Swift Current Creek. The issue is how the warming temperatures in the forecast for early next week will impact the snowpack in Cypress Hills.

Swift Current Fire Department Fire Chief Ryan Hunter has been in contact with the Water Security Agency, remaining informed on projected runoff amounts that will hit the Duncairn Dam.
