Gord Bamford, winner of 26 Canadian Country Music Association Awards, will be taking it to the stage, as Swift Current celebrates its fourth annual Taking it to the Streets event. 

Bamford has been back on the road, playing shows since February, although he explained that things are looking a little different than they did prior to the pandemic.

John Griffin, a member of the Swift Current Legion Branch 56, grew up with the history of the Canadian military ingrained in his blood. 

Due to family ties, Griffin has spent countless hours researching and building a book that details the statistics and histories of those that fought in the 8th Recce. 

Long before Griffin was born, his grandfather, John Ivor Griffin was a trooper in the 8th, and lied about his age in order to serve as a Bren gunner with the reconnaissance unit. 

Meghan Chisholm, aquatic manager for the City of Swift Current, joined five other Saskatchewan women in a swim across Lake Diefenbaker to raise money for a women's and children's organization. 

Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory, cautioning residents to keep a watchful eye on the sky this afternoon.

A low-pressure system moving across Saskatchewan will cause thunderstorms to develop throughout the day.

Some of these thunderstorms may produce funnel clouds.

The types of funnel clouds produced are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms.

‘Dora’ the tank was an unsuspecting target for vandalism earlier this week.

The former Swift Current resident was last seen in the area of the University of Alberta Hospital on January 14, 2022, and was reported missing to police on June 23, 2022.

Flag Football season is approaching in Swift Current, and there is still time to register. 

The league plays at the Swift Current Comprehensive High School football field and is a co-ed seven-on-seven league for adults.

The long-awaited wetland program in The Village of Riverhurst and Riverhurst Communities in Bloom marked its grand opening on Saturday morning. 

Development of the Wetland has been in the works for numerous years. In 2018, work began to re-establish healthy levels of water as well as adding safeguards to monitor and control flooding. 

Prairie wetlands are powerful ecosystems and are an important part of native prairie biodiversity. As much as 80% of Saskatchewan's wildlife relies partially on the shelter and food found in areas such as wetlands, to survive.
