First Impressions of Regina, Saskatchewan | Downtown City Tour

[@brakaponter]

So lovely the fact that u always speak good words about ur dad and always you can u try to involve him in ur videos. That shows u are a great daughter and u give a great example.

[@marksdeliciousadventures506]

I've always thought Regina is a nice city. I'm from N.D. originally, just across the border, but haved lived in San Diego, CA now for the past 25 years. I think the Fargo metro area has now surpassed Regina in population, but I think Regina seems much more like a real city. The downtown is more developed than Fargo and of course the Legislative building with Wascana Park are spectacular. Canadians are truly nice people too.

[@wyliefauth3997]

Fargo has 230,000 ish...reginas core alone is 275 and metro is about 300...but moosejaw would be included from a commuting standpoint and usong american metro standards bumping us up to 330-340. The regina REGION is probably 360. Censuses in Regina arent done the way most other cities are in Canada and the states, idk why, sp realistically 325-350 id say, but officially anout 300.

[@gr-612a9]

Great video! You’ve covered all the cities I’ve lived in Saskatchewan now. Interesting facts about Regina is that every tree you see, someone planted it there! Also, the lake in Wascana Park was dug out by hand during the Great Depression as a make work project, about 20 years ago it was deepened by machines. Some of the soil was used to build an island.

[@MrJibaro]

Was not expecting Regina to be this nice. Thanks for sharing, and having your dad in the video is wonderful.

[@highway2heaven91]

Regina is a wonderful and underrated city in Canada. An interesting fact is that the Queen Elizabeth statue in front of the Legislature has her name and title displayed in French on the other side of it. I haven’t visited but I’ve loved seeing the city in JJ McCullough’s, Sprouht’s and now your video of the city. Wonderful as always.

[@danavaneyck588]

Plus that is a statue of her famous black horse from the RCMP depot/training centre in Regina. The is deceased and is stuff and on display at the fancy RCMP museum.

Your father is so direct in his answers, but yet right on point and very objective lol. Beautiful place, everything so well preserved and in order.

[@davidmarshall718]

Her father's personality as you described it is a common trait of Canadian Elder Male Culture. One of the main reasons the country developed so well and continues to function so good.

[@lindsman682]

I'm from Edmonton but went to the U of R for a specific program in the early 90's and I have to say it was the best time of my my life. There are no people as friendly as Sask people and I made lots of friends right away, many of whom I still have 30 + years later. I get very nostalgic when I think of those good times, it would be nice to go to the Lazy Owl for a beer and a Deadly Chedly burger.

[@wtfhappened]

This gives me great memories. As a young touring musician, I played there for 2 week stints while going across Canada. Way back in the late 70's. I think the club was called The Old Gold club. Any old timers remember? What I remember are the great people I met there and how well they treated us. The city seems to have grown up quite nice.

[@alathi123]

WoW! I’m from Montreal, never saw Regina before this video. Thank you. Great filming.

[@DCL26]

Regina is a large, well kept and beautiful city. I didn't expect it to look as cosmopolitan as it is. Your Dad seems to like the smaller town vibe, and I can't blame him. Keep up the good work, and Happy, safe travels!

[@dwaynedeck5408]

I lived in Regina from 1971 to 1979. I remember the museum and legislature building very well. Also spent many summers at Wascana lake. Certainly brings back a lot of good memories as I have not been there for many years.

[@flightsoflife]

I always thought Saskatchewan had nice cities, even if they’re comparatively small to most others in Canada! I’ve lived in Saskatchewan all of my life and the beauty here is very underrated. The Royal museum is one that I’ve been to multiple times and it is great! Really recommend! For those interested, here are some places in Saskatchewan that you should definitely visit one day- 1. The Great Saskatchewan Sand Dunes. (A desert in?? In Canada??? It’s just gorgeous as it sounds. It’s not actually classified as a desert though!) 2. The Badlands. Haven’t been to them yet, but I hear it’s beautiful! It’s on my bucket list! 3. Saskatoon Exhibition (Only available during summer months.) This place is amazing for the food, the exhibits, the tradeshow, and the entertainment that they bring every year! 4. Western Development Museum It covers the time of early Saskatchewan and features a full-size replica town! Absolutely amazing, and you can get in for free if you have a student card!

In the evening as the sun is going down is the best time to see the plaza downtown as the sculptures all light up. So much fun on Market nights with free Salsa dancing on the plaza.

We visited Regina about 30 years ago and all I recall is seeing the RCMP academy, which was quite interesting. They have tours and a small museum showing the history of the organization. My 2 boys still remember visiting there.

[@danavaneyck588]

Yes I recall the smaller museum which was free admission but it has since been replaced with a much larger and more historically inclusive museum that does now charge admission but it is worth it.

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina and Gordon! Thanks for the lovely tour of Regina - the first capital of Canada's Northwest Territories (until 1905)! Although I lived in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) for 3 years, I made only one visit to Regina - to a Roughriders game. The Rolling Stones played a great and memorable show in Regina in 2006, but this was after my time. Regina is a beautiful provincial capital!!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Oh wow, I had no idea they came to Regina. Very cool

[@noitawl]

Yes, they did! It was a huge success. It was held in Tayler field, in October. The weather was good. People came from the western provinces, bordering states. They put on 3 or 4 shows, before they pulled out. Mick Jagger really liked the place.

[@danavaneyck588]

Good ole Sir Paul McCartney also played Taylor Field; got my parents tickets as they are huge Beatles fans. Did you know that Paul does not read sheet music?

[@craig0077]

The Stones played two shows. One show on Oct. 6th and 8th - 2006. The weather was great for the first show that I attended and they were fantastic. Jagger seemed to like Regina, and said it "rhymes with fun".

[@darellnewsome4459]

[@peggyklassen8111]

Welcome to Regina! 🖐 We have lived here for the last 21 years. We are both from Saskatchewan. We are very familiar with many areas of the province as my husband's career as a Conservation Officer with the Sask Dept of Environment has taken us to many different areas of this great province, each beautiful in their own way. You missed seeing Mosaic Stadium, home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police/RCMP depot/training center and museum, as Regina is the home of the RCMP, our national police force. Perhaps you need to make another visit and stay a little longer. 😊 So happy you have been able to visit with your parents on this trip back home to Canada and to have your dad with you on this road trip. I love following your posts as you travel the world. Happy travelling! 🚙🧳✈

[@joseenoel8093]

Just awesome, I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal! I left my career at my husband's request in '88, I majored in Sylviculture and they don't want to plant it back properly so... All places left natural are beautiful, that's just how it is!

[@TagW110]

Just went for a visit there with someone special. It's a beautiful city, incredible mix of old and new, amazing house architecture, parks, you name it. I honestly think it should be an artist hub, like Seattle.

hi there. i don't know if this is worth saying but since Regina is my home city i feel like i wanted to make a grammar correction here. You see Regina isn't just a town it's a city.

[@davidmarshall718]

@@AlinaMcleod --- It might be worth mentioning that former Saskatchewan Premier from 1944 - 1961 (the elected leader of the province) Tommy Douglas, who also led the moderate-Left Co-operative Commonwealth Federation Party federally from 1961 - 1971, which morphed into todays NDP Party, was voted in a widely known and popular CBC-TV National Poll some years ago as "The Greatest Canadian Ever" due to his stalwart promotion of many of the social programs that have made Canada famous world-wide, such as universal health care. I support aspects of the moderate right, left and center, and it is true that people of all political beliefs hold him in very high status. Both Saskatchewan and Manitoba Provinces are very strong in developing some of the things that make Canada famous for what it is, such as Universal Medical Care for everyone and Social Programs such as Pensions and helping people who are temporarily facing financial hardship.

I was underneath that building digging out a new basement while helping to reinforce it. Apparently tin sleeved piles built decades ago were not enough to support the 60 million lbs of granite above, it was sinking. So Dominion construction called in a company that hydraulicly puts in piles from California usually for docks. We fabricated 6" round 130 MPA reinforced concrete screw piles, cured 30 days, and that company set up plates that were grouted to the underneath of the Ledgislative building were huge hydraulic pistons were bolted to, and a massive 9000 psi pump. They pressed down those 1 meter long piles some 17- 20 meters deep using the underside of the building. That was 1st phase of the project, before digging out the lake to create an actual lake. I was underneath that left staircase for a week removing clay/soil/dirt. Afterwards, shotcreate was used to fill in voids after pouring basement concrete walls. That was my first construction project, I was 17 years old.
