Swift Current (pop: 14,900) is a small city in Southwest Saskatchewan. It is situated along the Trans Canada Highway 170 kilometers (106 mi) west from Moose Jaw, and 218 kilometers (135 mi) east from Medicine Hat, Alberta. The settlement of Swift Current was established in 1881 when the CPR surveyed a railway line as far as Swift Current Creek. Swift Current is also home to Saskatchewan's oldest operating theatre: the Lyric, built in 1912 at a cost of $50,000 is the "crown jewel" of Swift Current's historical downtown buildings, with instantly recognizable advertisements painted on the north and south sides of the building dating back to the early 1920s.
