Residents in Swift Current were ready to return to the Chinook pathways for the Southwest Run for Shelter that was brought back to the city on Saturday morning. 

Kayla Myers, committee member with the Southwest Run for Shelter, said that it was wonderful to see the event come back for the sixth year, after a two-year break. 

After seven long years, the RCMP Musical Ride made its grand return to southwest Saskatchewan yesterday afternoon in Herbert. 

Planning for the event initially began two years ago, before the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt on all current plans. 

Staff Sergeant Evan Gordon, with the Swift Current municipal detachment, was formerly posted in Morse and took part in the initial planning for the event.  

An 18-year-old from Swift Current has made a remarkable impression at the Level 1 American Quarter Horse World Championships that took place in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

Abby Goddard has been riding since the age of nine, committing her life to being an equestrian athlete. 

A teacher at Fairview School has made a positive impact on her students and the community by actively participating in the Million Reasons Run that took place throughout the month of May. 

Cheryl Hegglin, grade five teacher at Fairview School, said she first became inspired to participate in the run after stumbling upon a post on social media. 

An investigation into a sophisticated crime group distributing illicit substances in Saskatchewan and Alberta has led to 70 criminal charges being laid as well as the seizure of a significant quantity of drugs. 

The Saskatchewan RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit (FSOC) in Regina, began investigating the crime group, that was distributing drugs to multiple communities across the two provinces, back in October of 2020. 

Although spring has only made a tentative appearance in Saskatchewan, the wildlife in the province is bustling with life. 

During this time of year, many animals leave their young alone for long periods while they forage for food, or to protect them from predators.  

A new event along with a new initiative will be introduced to Swift Current this weekend in celebration of June 5 to 11 being recognized as ‘June is Recreation and Parks Month Week’. 

The Parkway Connections event will take place from one o’clock to four o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday June 5, when a new initiative, community passports, will take effect. 

Hi, I'm Wrangler!

I'm a 6-year-old lab looking for my forever home.

I might be an older boy, but I'm still quite spry! I have lots of love to give and I love to play.

I get along with other dogs and would be good with kids, but I'm not sure about cats just yet.

I've been started on my vaccinations and will be neutered soon.

If you'd like more information or would like to come and meet me, give the shelter a call at 306-773-1806!
