Swift Current will once again get the luxury of live performances during Frontier Days 2022 as multiple remarkably talented artists are set to take the stage at the grandstands. 

The series of performances will kick off tonight when the brother and sister duo, The Reklaws, takes to the stage. 

Chris Martens, with the Swift Current Ag and Ex, said that he is looking forward to the jam-packed entertainment in store for this year. 

After a dry start put a halt on the beginning of the season, the Ministry of Highways was finally able to open the Riverhurst Ferry last week. 

The Ferry, that has been beached for the start of the season, was able to return to the South Saskatchewan River due to the continuous water level increase over the last week. 

For the first time in two years, the city of Swift Current will get to experience the flashing lights and lavish floats of the Canada Day Parade. 

Chris Martens, from the Swift Current Ag & Ex board, said that the excitement in the community for the return to normalcy is infectious. 

I mean everyone loves the parades,” he stated. “People, they just get excited for it, and they're all back to normal again.” 

The Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre gathered in downtown Swift Current yesterday afternoon for their fifth annual lunch fundraiser. 

Executive Director of the Southwest Newcomer Welcome Centre, Icasiana de Gala, said that the fundraiser serves multiple purposes within the community. 

The RCMP Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network is on the search for a utility trailer that was stolen from Chaplin, Saskatchewan. 

The black, 2010 Dumonceau flat deck trailer, was stolen sometime overnight on June 25/26. 

The license plate on the trailer reads 946 HNT Sask.  

Engines roared through Swift Current over the weekend when the second annual Cruise and Walk for a Cure took off on Saturday afternoon.

There were 14 individuals that participated in the walk, 40 individuals that took part in the cruise, and a total of 27 bikes.
