THE CITY Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan, is home to 185,000 people. Founded in 1882, three years later the city was chosen by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as its headquarters. The city continues to serve as the hub for distributing agricultural goods and services to a large cattle and grain producing region.
Summer days are hot and dry, and evenings cool and comfortable.
Be sure to spend an afternoon in beautiful Wascana Centre park, tour the RCMP Centennial Museum, or take in a concert of the Regina Symphony Orchestra, Canada's oldest performing symphony. We were in Regina for Buffalo Days. Saskatchewan's first folk festival takes place in downtown Regina's Victoria Park. An eclectic mix of music entertaining young and old alike. The Flatland Music Festival is the biggest celebration of Saskatchewan music in the province.
