This is unprecedented in our time, but I believe that in Swift Current we are in a strong position to handle this situation by supporting each other as a community. If you need to reach me urgently, call or text me on my cell phone: 306-750-2496. I encourage you all to look out for your friends and neighbours while practicing social distancing and infection control, and to ask for help if you need it.
