Saskatchewan's incredible music and arts capital
If you think Canada’s prairies are boring, you’re in for a huge surprise. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is one of Canada’s youngest cities, and as such it’s home to top-notch music and arts festivals and a growing local food and drink scene. Of course, being so close to farmland has its advantages—namely that the ingredients are very fresh and very delicious.

Swift Current is also located two hours away from the United States border.
Not only is Swift Current easily accessible from other centres, the community itself is easy to navigate. Whether you are commuting to work or heading to the golf course, everything in Swift Current is nearby.
With such easy access to transportation, the community is a place where industry remains competitive. Swift Current's diverse economy offers opportunities in many sectors, including agriculture, oil and gas, manufacturing, and tourism. 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.
With beautiful bed & breakfasts and scenic campgrounds alongside National hotels, Swift Current offers a number of great places to stay. There is something to fit any budget or travel plan.

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.
