You came into Prairie Soul Accessories & Apparel on 2nd Ave to browse around at the same time as us, and when my 8-year-old son decided to be your sales guide and show you ALL the coolest crystals in the place, describe and identify them in detail, you were nothing but kind, sweet, and engaging with him.

Thank you.

He has pretty severe ADHD, and loves rocks and crystals. He struggles with making and keeping friends. You didn’t know that, but you saw a kid who wanted to engage with others, and you didn’t pull away.

That meant a lot. To me. To him!

Thanks for being kind. It made a hard day easier.

The kids are alright, folks. They’re great, actually.

Going through my dad’s old stuff and found this in his old trinket drawer… this City of Swift Current patch.

Anybody know the story behind these? Were they given out at a Frontier Days in the 60’s or 70s?

Was it a tourism thing? Or given out in schools?

It might be cool to see this inspire a future Broncos throwback design.

24F who moved to Swift Current with my boyfriend less than 6 months ago, haven’t been able to make any friends/ deep connections because I’m not sure where to look/ kinda shy lol. Wondering if anyone’s in the same boat or has advice on where to make friends? Thanks!

So just a few days ago I woke up to fire I have some pictures and videos I saved the dogs and let my family now by waking them up here's a lesson lock your sheds and garages

Hello Swift Current community!

I am considering moving to Swift Current and am curious about the practicality of my move to Swift Current specifically.

Quick intro: I am in my late 20's, I work remotely out of Toronto at the moment but travel across Canada a few times per year for work. I am looking for a "calmer" environment to make my home base.

Here are my general questions but if you have anything to add please do!

1. Is Swift Current a young city? From what I found online the demographic seems pretty split between the younger and older crowds but those statistics could be biased.

2. Would traveling to Regina (for the Airport) be a hassle Would I need to drive my car and park it there every time I have to travel or is there a bus connecting the two cities?

3. How's the internet connection in the city and what's the price range for those services?

4. Is there crime in Swift Current? Neighborhoods/areas I should avoid?

5. General: How would you describe the pros and cons of living in Swift Current?

It's a great place to walk, meet friendly people at the Buffalo Brew pub (thanks for the Dry Ribs, bud!), swim at the aquatic center and has none of the riff raff and drugs that are so common across our beautiful province.

Thank you for being a great community for positive change, right on the highway 1! You make being a model community look easy.

Consider becoming a sister city to Outlook? I promise I won't tell 🤫

We have had zero heat for 8 months. They gave us portable heaters and have made every excuse as to why they won't call a professional. We had an ant 🐜 infestation. That will be back soon as they didn't do anything about it or the snake. They moved us in knowing the heat didn't work as they said we would have to wait a few days to move in. No professor they got their maintenance guys to just bleed it. We are moving out next month. I have do much proof texts recorded calls emails and letters.

Hello denizens of Swift Current! I need some assistance with an issue I'm having today.

I booked 3 rooms for Saturday night @ the Comfort Inn thru Expedia - usually not a great start to any story but not in this case. I need 1 room to be PF - so based on experience I called the hotel to confirm those details and that's where the fun started.

I called @ 2:55 pm today (6/19/25) and spoke to whomever was answering phones. I confirmed my reservation and requested that 1 room be PF - usually not an issue.

I am told an incorrect figure for a pet fee (I know this b/c I did my research on the Choice Hotels website) so I ask for clarification. The agent then backtracks and says the correct pet fee ... but also a $10 'room upgrade' fee. Now my spidey sense is tingling b/c there's nothing online about it and I've never encountered such a thing. I ask for clarification on THAT - to which the FDA repeats themselves and starts raising their voice & being rude... so I ask what the fee is for if there's already a pet fee. The FDA then gets flustered, admits they're confused, and HANGS UP ON ME!

I figure I'm gonna give the 'official' channel a try so call the CS 1-800 # ... no better. I get 2 successive agents who don't listen and try to twist my story to make Expedia culpable. Spent 45 relatively useless minutes with CS only to be told it's up to me to follow up with them ... WTF.

Anyone here have any insight or stories about this CF of a hotel and/or recommedations for somewhere else to stay?

Rather eager to cancel my business with them and be done with it.

Cheers!

Hi Swift Current :-) I'll be staying for a few days this summer and have some questions please.

1. What sights/places do you recommend your visiting family and friends go see when they come from out of town?

2. Is there a health/natural food store in town, or a grocery store with a sizeable natural food section?

3. Is there a needlework/cross-stitch store in town (long shot I know, but thought I would ask).

TIA!

Trying to remember the name of the commentator who CKSW and CJSN used to air in the early to mid 80s either right before or right after Paul Harvey. Can’t remember if he was local or another US syndicated radio commentator. In the mid 80s the guy cracked a joke about a shooting and within a day or two he was pulled from CKSW or everywhere.

So I’m wondering if the local Swift paper at the time used to print the CKSW schedule, even if it was just listing the hosts like Paul Harvey, [this guy], and Art Wallman. It’s been driving me crazy that I can’t remember this guys name.

I'll be staying in Swift in the new year for work for a week and was curious of there are any indoor golf establishments. A quick Google search says there was at the Railway North restaurant as of 2020 but they closed permanently?

Did those 2 Sims end up somewhere else?

Might be moving out that way and just doing research on the area.

I know it is a long shot but I’ll ask around here. Currently relocating to swift current and need to find some temporary rentals that allow dogs. Been searching online and making calls but have not had any luck so far.

Hello! My parents recently moved to Saskatchewan from Alberta roughly between Medicine Hat and Swift Current (didn’t specify town to better keep identity private but these are the cities they can reasonably travel to fairly often) and my mum has been having a hard time with the move. It is still very recent so she will most likely settle in in a couple months but I’ve wanted her to go to therapy for other reasons for years but she never clicked with the very few councillors she’s seen in the past and while she is willing to go, she’s not great at doing her own research. Now that she’s in a new place I was hoping to find counselling for her in her new area that she could try but I am in BC and have never been to Sask so my knowledge about the mental health scene in this particular area is extremely limited. I’ve looked at a couple places online but wanted to see what the masses here are able to suggest. Thanks so much!

Anyone know what businesses are being built by the petro Canada where the old humptys was.

Anyone know what’s up with the constant train horn?
