Swift Current to Host 350 MW Natural Gas Plant by 2019
Sask Energy confirms a 350 megawatt natural gas plant will be built near Swift Current on a 158 acre site and finished in late 2019. Planning began in 2012 with Lanigan as the other finalist. The project aims to meet southwest Saskatchewan demand and create 20 to 25 permanent jobs plus 400 to 500 during construction. The final builder will be decided after a bidding process.

Food sector beef with Ottawa over worker shortage
The Canadian meat industry seeks a new program to hire foreign workers who could become permanent residents and citizens, arguing current policy limits export growth as officials push Canadians to fill rural slaughter and processing jobs. With about 1,000 workers needed now, a July 1 cap reducing new foreign hires to 20 percent could worsen shortages.
