Progressive leadership has provided local investments in infrastructure along with tax incentives which have fuelled expansion both commercially and residentially. As a result growth over the last 5 years has been dramatic with a number of businesses relocating and expanding their operations.
The two shopping malls located in the community both offer one-of-a-kind specialty stores, as well as national chain stores. Downtown Swift Current also provides great shopping, with distinctive shops and boutiques located along tree-lined streets and cobblestone sidewalks.

In the summer, sports lovers can enjoy Western Major League Baseball games at the ball diamonds behind the iPlex. The Swift Current Indians offer a great opportunity to cheer on the home team while enjoying an afternoon in the sun.

The History of Swift Current: The 1960's
Presented by the Swift Current Centennial Committee as part of Swift Current's Centennial celebrations, The History of Swift Current takes us on a journey through the highs and the lows of the creation and growth of the Frontier City.
The 1960's mark a turning point for the city of Swift Current. It is during this era that we can see the seeds of what the city would eventually become. The old pedestrian bridge was demolished and became the 2nd Ave. overpass. The Trans-Canada Highway was moved to its present location from Chaplin St. The Civic Centre was built and the Swift Current Broncos were formed. While the local police force was changed over to the RCMP. It was a decade of change, starting a long and difficult journey from The Frontier City towards the city it is today.

The History of Swift Current: The 1970's
Presented by the Swift Current Centennial Committee as part of Swift Current's Centennial celebrations, The History of Swift Current takes us on a journey through the highs and the lows of the creation and growth of the Frontier City.
There was more to the 1970's in Swift Current than the Saskatchewan Summer Games in 1976. The Civic Centre was taken down in a storm, and soon after the Broncos were taken away by Lethbridge. We gained a celebrity in Billy Buffalo, lost him, then got him back (at least for while). With a thriving arts community, it wasn't all doom and gloom in Swift Current in the 70's. The Allied Arts Council, Folkfest and the Stars for Saskatchewan series all found their footing in the 70's, and have become staples of the community ever since.
