Swift Current is taking a massive stride towards inclusivity with the introduction of an inclusive playground to the city. 

The new park will become a reality, partially thanks to a $750,000 investment from the Government of Canada. 

A teacher from Swift Current recently received the recognition of a lifetime after winning an award at the YWCA Regina 2022 Nutrien Women of Distinction Awards on Saturday. 

The event celebrated women in southern Saskatchewan that are advocates and leaders in the social scene. 

Cindy Lowe, business education teacher at the Swift Current Comprehensive High School, was presented with the Education, Training, and Development Award. 

The coals on the barbecue burned hot yesterday as Burger Fest took place at the Buffalo Brew Pub. 

The event was hosted by the Swift Current Rotary Club in collaboration with the Buffalo Brew Pub to raise funds for the Swift Current Comprehensive High School Jazz Band. 

Bula Ghosh, President of the Rotary Club, said that the event exceeded their expectations. 

The annual walk to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s returned to the city with an in-person event over the weekend. 

Angela Hodel, events coordinator for the Alzheimer's Society of Saskatchewan said that the day was a large success. 

UPDATE:

The truck was located in Shaunavon at 3:30 p.m. near the hospital parking lot.

Anyone with knowledge of this crime is encouraged to contact the Shaunavon RCMP at 306 297-5550.

A big move is in the forecast for AAA Wildcats goalie, Aurora Van Wormer, after committing to Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts. 

The 18-year-old, from Swift Current has been playing with the Wildcats for four years, beginning with the AA team. She has played on the AAA team since 2020. 

Van Wormer said that the opportunities presented to her at Anna Maria college helped her make her decision. 

Hello, I'm Jigsaw!

I'm a handsome Shepherd mix, almost 1 year old.

I'm very sweet and need a family to keep me active. I would do best with a family in the city that has no other animals,

I seem to be ok with bigger dogs, but a meet and greet would be necessary. I would love a home with a fenced in yard as I absolutely love to be outside enjoying the sun and fresh air. However, I'm not suited for farm life as I'm not a big fan of livestock.

If you feel like I'd be a good fit for you, give the shelter a call at 306-773-1806.

The RCMP Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network are asking the public in the southwest to be on the lookout for a Burgundy Mazda Tribute.

The SUV has a Quebec licence plate, reading K35YEQ.

The vehicle is believed to be in the Moose Jaw, Morse, and Swift Current area.

If you see the vehicle, please call local RCMP Detachment with details.

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.
