She noted that the award is presented in recognition of what they have done in and around the community, for volunteerism, and just for the great business they are offering in and around Swift Current.
'It's always a tough decision because we have so many deserving businesses,' she admitted. 'But the Living Sky Casino has really outdone themselves in their past 10 years of operation here in Swift Current. They do so much that I don't think the community is even aware of. Their staff volunteers all over the place. They have so many events in and around Swift Current. And they really, really, worked hard to become part of our community and to better Swift Current and surrounding area. So the Chamber Board of Directors felt that Living Sky Casino was a very, very worthy recipient of the Member Business of the Year Award.'
The Living Sky Casino opened on December 29, 2008 and is drawing closer to its 10th anniversary in Swift Current.
