Chartered in 1921 as the 513th club of Kiwanis International and sponsored by the Moose Jaw Kiwanis Club, the 51 charter members of Swift Current took up the cause of serving their community and the children of the world. Early days saw help given to families for needs such as dental work, eyeglasses, cod liver oil, tonsil operations, and even graduation gowns, while today’s organization fills a much broader and varied mandate.

During the last 90 years the Kiwanis Club has helped to establish Kiwanis Park, the Kiwanis Ball Diamonds, and the Kiwanis Skate Park. And from 1924 until the 1970’s a Kiwanis Bathing Station was built and supervised on the creek at Elmwood Park. These are just a few of the accomplishments the club has achieved over the past 90 years.

Other projects the club has championed include: community talent shows; horticultural shows; an Air Cadet Band; a Junior Baseball League; working to bring 911 service to SW Saskatchewan; encouraging organ donations; constructing a kiosk on the Chinook Pathway; organizing the July 1 Parade for a number of years; completing numerous renovations at Crisis Services and Canadian Mental Health facilities, as well as assisting the Drug Task Force with it’s mandate.

The Kulture Klub was a local book club that started in 1946.

The Sons of England and Daughters of England societies existed in Swift since at least 1915 and until the 1940s. Like the early Fraternal Societies, Sons of England offered insurance policies. The S.O.E. regularly competed against other local clubs and organizations in sporting events, and Carpet Ball in the Masonic Temple.

The St. George’s Society was a more recent society than Sons of England, but was a similar type of organization. St. George’s Society only existed in the 1980s and 1990s, but the group brought together people with a similar heritage. The Society sponsored a local soccer team and held an annual Guy Fawkes night.

The Saskatchewan Landing School District was a one-room school house in the Swift Current School Unit which offered all grades from elementary to high school. Upon closing students attended Stewart Valley (elementary) and Swift Current (high school) schools.

The concept of organizing a baseball program for old-timers was instituted by the Saskatchewan Baseball Association board of directors at their annual meeting in 1975. From the beginning emphasis was stressed that the program was created to be a fun-oriented movement and restricted to players 35 years of age and older.
