Swift Current Building Supplies recently celebrated their 55th Anniversary on April 1st! No, it isn’t an elaborate, half-century long April Fools prank – they really have been serving the community since 1970!

Canadian Tire in Portage is hosting a Customer Appreciation Event on Friday, April 11th from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM to say thank you to all those who have supported them over the last year!

“We’ve got some fantastic deals on some of our best products- we’ve actually dropped the prices even lower,” says owner Dave Fraser. “We’re going to have free coffee and 99-cent water bottle refills, which is the lowest we’ve ever had them. We’ve got Pokémon card door crashers, some balloons to pop, a Putt and Win, and lots of opportunities to win prizes and cash in on savings.”

For the last two years, the team at Humboldt Co-op Agro has been planning something big! 

Their new 6,000-tonne fertilizer storage facility is pretty hard to miss. You’ve probably seen it through various stages over the last year, and wondered what could possibly take up that much space. Is it a lumber shed? New condos? A mysterious warehouse, perhaps?

The secret’s out – the new Humboldt Co-op Fertilizer Shed is officially open! 

“It’s a really unique experience for kids to get away from home, get away from distractions and all the things that they do regularly. Camp is a great place for kids to get outside, be in nature, and do some activities that they wouldn’t normally get to do.”  

Not every box of chocolates is the same. If you’re someone who appreciates good chocolate, you know that some are barely worth your time.

This is something Jennifer (Jen) Lynn from JL Cake and Chocolate in Swift Current knows well. Any piece of chocolate can satisfy your craving. The best chocolates, though… they aren’t just delicious, they’re works of art, too.

Choosing your career path can be overwhelming. From university programs to trades apprenticeships, the options are seemingly endless. If you’re having a hard time making a decision, start by checking out the programs at Medicine Hat College (MHC).

Whether you’re taking your first step after high school or changing directions later in life, MHC has a wide range of programs to prepare you for success in your courses, in life, and in the workforce.

“This town is absolutely amazing. We've been here for eight or nine months and honestly, we’re just loving every second of it!”

Originally from Ontario, Pastors Scott and Carling Mortimer moved to Cochrane in July 2024 with their soon-to-be greatly expanded family.

“We have young kids – ages four and eight – with three more on the way,” reveals Scott. “We're expecting triplets in the summer – so the family-friendly dynamic here has been just incredible.”

Great news from Vanguard! Your friendly local butcher, Whiska Creek Abattoir, is back in full swing. After a little break last summer to recover from illness, wonderful owner and operator Alice Bexson wants to remind everyone they’re still here. 

"We're back to do business with all our locals that may or may not realize that we're open for business," Alice states.   

Mark your calendars, Portage la Prairie! Western Bearing & Auto Parts is hosting its highly anticipated Milwaukee Tool Days this Thursday April 10th, from 9 am to 3 pm. This isn’t just another sale; it’s a full-fledged event designed to equip you with the best tools and the best deals.

Rocky Rents is the sort of business where Swift Current homeowners, contractors and anyone else planning an outdoor project cross paths. A local DIY-er might stop by the shop at 2090 North Railway St West to rent a pressure washer or circular saw.
