A New Exhibition Rooted in Gull Lake’s Past Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to take artist Steacy Easton through the Gull Lake Museum. That visit now connects directly to a major new exhibition opening in Swift Current. The Art Gallery of Swift Current is launching Further Shores, a project inspired by Stephen Shore’s 1970s photographs of Gull Lake. Shore—a legendary American photographer known for pioneering colour documentary work—captured everyday prairie life wit

When residents discuss projects that shaped Gull Lake, one achievement consistently stands out: the Gull Lake & District Chamber of Commerce Campsite. For nearly three decades, the Chamber played a central role in business life, civic development, and community pride.

Proton Ave 1921 If you stand at the corner of Main and Rutland today, looking at the Empire Diner, you’re standing on ground once shaped by one of the town’s earliest and most determined entrepreneurs: Quan Fook. His story threads through early business development, racial barriers, public health emergencies, and one of Gull Lake’s biggest fires. It’s a story worth remembering — and one that reflects the attitudes and policies of the early 1900s, not today. 🥢 Early Chinese R

Gull Lake lived through these two wartime years with a kind of steady resilience, keeping civic life moving even as the wider world was changing in ways no one here could ignore.. Council meetings continued, bylaws were passed, and appointments made, but beneath the routine lay drought, fire, epidemic, and the strain of a nation at war. 1917: A Quiet, Wartime Year In 1917, Dr. McCue served as mayor, supported by councillors A.H.
