Power in the city of Swift Current remains out in what appears to be the majority, if not the entirety of the city.

Heavy winds and fallen trees appear to be the source of the outages, according to Mayor Denis Perrault.

"We'll do the absolute best we can to accommodate that," he said. "Our city staff will do the absolute best they can to ultimately get power restored as soon as possible."

He says work will be done for as long as needed to alleviate the issue.

"Our city crews are all hands on deck right now. That goes for Light and Power as well as our regular city workers. They're out striving to fix that and try to get it better."

"I think the best advice right for the public right now is to listen to the radio, and if you do have any form of internet service then keep following the twitter and facebook feeds. I know we, as a city, will continue to update as best we can with the information we have at hand."
