University Women’s Club of Swift Current
The University Women’s Club was founded in Saskatchewan in 1918, and the Swift Current branch in 1930 with ten charter members. The Club participated in the work of the Canadian Federation of University Women to encourage educational values by educating themselves, participating in the education of others and to stimulate members to become involved in pubic affairs. The Club also awarded the Dorothy Goddard scholarship annually. The club disbanded ca. 2006 and the majority of the records were transferred to the Saskatchewan Archives Board.
The Adapted Aquatics program began when the Aquatic Centre in Swift Current, Saskatchewan opened in 1982 and ran until 2007. The program was started by Anthea Loran to help children and young adults with disabilities learn water safety, and participate in group activities.
The team was created in the wake of the Swift Current Broncos becoming the Lethbridge Broncos in 1974. Originally dubbed the "Broncos", the team changed their name to the "Indians" in 1983. The team folded in 1986 when the original Broncos came back to the City of Swift Current in 1986. The "SJHL Broncos" won the SJHL Championship in their first ever season in the league.
The Broncos started out as the Swift Current Broncos in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, but moved to Lethbridge in 1974. The team had been losing money in Swift Current and the new Lethbridge Sportsplex was beckoning for a team. The Broncos played in Lethbridge for twelve seasons, winning the President's Cup in 1982–83. In the mid 1980s, the team came up for sale, and despite a large and loyal fanbase in Lethbridge, the Broncos were bought by local interests in Swift Current and moved back to their original home. The Lethbridge Hurricanes moved in to replace the Broncos in the southern Alberta city.
The team won its only Memorial Cup championship two years later at the 1989 Memorial Cup. In the 1993 Memorial Cup, the Broncos were eliminated in a tie-breaker. Afterwards, the team's only head coach Graham James resigned to coach the Calgary Hitmen, but three seasons later, allegations arose that he sexually abused former player Sheldon Kennedy during their days together with the Broncos. James was convicted of sexual offenses and sentenced to three years in prison.
The Broncos play their home games at the Credit Union iPlex.
