" it's flat over there"...
In a nutshell
Regina is a little quiet
Jefie Says: Touring the legislative building is always a nice thing to do when you're in a capital city - especially because it's free! The Saskatchewan Leg building is very similar to the Alberta one, but the tour is not as entertaining. One interesting thing you'll get to see on the...
Jefie Says: Wascana Centre is a 930 hectare urban park, surrounding a 120 hectare lake located in the heart of Regina. It's a great place to go if you want to kick back with a book for a couple hours, have a picnic, or go for a walk or rollerskate around the lake.
Redlats Says: The museum exhibits the Mounties' history and exploits. The RCMP and their predecessors the NWMP (North West Mounted Police) were well respected in Canada's north and west.The museum is a little disjointed. You get a taste of the various issues, but for instance, wandering...
Babzz Says: Very nicely layed out museum with a lot of interesting and educational information about the history and current role of the RCMP - I learned a lot! Exhibits have a lot of artifacts on display. There's a "detective" section and dress-up photo opportunity for kids (ok, ok, we...
Surprised to find Bison in Regina!
Bwana_Brown Says: The IPSCO Steel Mill outside Regina is a strange place - great chimneys belching smoke combined with massive loaders, trucks and trains hauling heavy chunks of steel here and there, yet just outside its factory area it has a Wildlife park and children's play area complete...
Marvel at a relic of a by-gone era!
Bwana_Brown Says: Located in a yard beside the IPSCO Steel mill on the northern outskirts of Regina is a relic of one of the world's major steam locomotive types - Canadian Pacific Railway engine #3101. One of only two engines of this 'Northern' type ever operated by CPR, its wheel...
Bwana_Brown Says: This seat of the Saskatchewan government is located in a very beautiful open expanse of lawns and the man-made Lake Wascana. The surrounding Wascana Park, at 2300 acres, is one of the largest in North America and is almost three times the size of Central Park in New York...
Tour the Legislative Building and Grounds
Bwana_Brown Says: The Legislative Building, built for the Saskatchewan provincial government, is no small structure - in fact it is larger than those for Ontario or Quebec. This strange fact arose from the fact that they building was designed based on a provincial population explosion that...

Copper Kettle: Great location in the heart of downtown
Bwana_Brown Says: The Copper Kettle is located in an old building built in 1929 and located directly across Scarth Street from the popular grassed and treed Victoria Park in downtown Regina. Sue and I were out for a weekend stroll on a typical high-20s C day with sunshine when we happened...
O'Hanlon's Irish Pub: An Irish Pub in Regina
Jefie Says: O'Hanlon's is a really nice Irish Pub located downtown, on Scarth Street. It's pretty big, it's got a great selection of beer on tap and our waiter actually was Irish :o) They also have a sidewalk terrace if you feel like stopping by in the afternoon to enjoy a cold pint or...
Helpfulness
The Sobeys chain of supermarkets is presently the second largest in Canada, with 1300 stores spread across the country, generating an income of $13 billion in 2006. It was founded 100-years ago in 1907 in the province of Nova Scotia, so as a fellow 'Maritimer' from New Brunswick, I've always leaned toward them for groceries! However, after moving to Regina, I dutifully made my rounds of the Superstore, Coop, Extra Foods and Sobeys and eventually settled on Sobeys as my main grocery store for price and other practical reasons. There are four Sobeys stores in the city but I usually use the one of Victoria Avenue.
I time my visits for about 8-9 AM on Saturday mornings before the crowd arrives!
What to buy: Typical prices are:
$4.48 Four 60-watt bulbs
$1.49 Liquid dish-washing detergent (324 ml)
$2.99 V-8 vegetable juice (1.89 L)
$4.45 Skinless chicken breasts (3)
$7.15 Frozen Thin-crust Greek Pizza (12-inch)
$1.32 Medium Navel oranges (4)
$0.75 Bananas (3)
$4.59 Loaf of Multi-grain bread

Moose Jaw: murals and more ....
vtveen Says: Moose Jaw is a nice destination for day trip from Regina, about 75 km’s away. The first thing to enjoy is the drive over Highway 1. For me as a Dutchman it is incredible to drive such a straight road; it is just like a ruler through the plains of Saskatchewan. Driving these...
clarke_bb Says: If you are interested in history, old buidlings and equipment or just looking for a good day trip from Regina, the Claybank Brick Plant Historical Site is a good place to check out. This is a national heritage site that is approximately 1 hour from Regina so would be a good...
‘Hop on – hop off’ during a bike tour
vtveen Says: Although not very common in Canada, we made a bike tour through the city of Regina during our last autumn visit. To be honest it was a great adventure cycling along the meandering Wascana River and around a part of Wascana Lake. You could use ‘your’ bike on a hop-on hop-off...
Take in a Canadian Football League game
Bwana_Brown Says: I have only been to a handful of professional baseball and ice hockey games in my life but no football games at all. That came to an end on a recent Saturday night when I received a short-notice telephone call inviting me to attend a Canadian Football League game that was to...
