The waiting game continues as the City of Swift Current moves forward with the annexation process.

     With the City looking to acquire portions of commercial and future residential land from the neighbouring RM, applications have been filed for a hearing with the province.

     Chief Administrative Officer with the City, Matt Noble says they expect to hear back by February.

     Despite other cities in the province also undergoing the process, Noble says they feel they started early enough to get the jump in the queue.
