Top Attractions in Regina

Regina Exhibition Stadium

The Regina Exhibition Stadium, also known as the Queen City Gardens, is an indoor arena located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Built in 1919, it is a part of the Regina Exhibition Park and hosted the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League before the construction of the Agridome in 1977. Legendary singer/songwriter and one of the greatest rock and roll artists of all time, Buddy Holly, performed a Halloween show in the stadium on October 31, 1957. Exhibition Stadium still stands today and is used for agricultural exhibitions, minor hockey, broomball, and other special occasions. It is the oldest standing hockey arena in Canada still in use. In 2007, Evraz Place began a $180-million revitalization program to upgrade or replace rundown or obsolete facilities over a ten-year period. The second phase of the program includes plans to demolish Exhibition Stadium, as well as the auditorium and other old barns.

Hotel Saskatchewan

The Radisson Plaza Hotel Saskatchewan is a historic hotel, one of Canadas grand railway hotels located in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, overlooking Victoria Park. The Hotel Saskatchewan was the fourteenth hotel in a nationwide chain constructed and owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway The railways earlier hotels, such as the Château Frontenac in Quebec City, the Chateau Lake Louise and the Banff Springs Hotel were designed in a distinctive château style, but by the late 1920s this had been abandoned in favor of a much simpler and less expensive style although the Canadian National Railways Bessborough hotel in Saskatoon was built from 1928 to 1932. The Hotel Saskatchewan was the hub of the citys social life, and today operates as part of the Radisson Hotels chain.

Regina Saskatchewan Temple

The Regina Saskatchewan Temple is the 65th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . It is located in East Regina on Wascana Creek close to the University of Regina but well away from the downtown business district. Because of issues with transportation, LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley's dedication of the Halifax Nova Scotia Temple was delayed a day. Hinckley decided to go ahead with the dedication of the Halifax temple and apostle Boyd K. Packer was sent to dedicate the Regina temple. It was the first time two temples were dedicated the same day, and the first time since the dedication of the Manti Utah Temple in 1888 by Lorenzo Snow that a temple had been dedicated by a person who was not a member of the church's First Presidency. Because of a truckers' strike, materials had not arrived until a few days before. Crews worked around the clock to finish the light grey granite facing, completing the exterior the night before the dedication. The temple was dedicated on November 14, 1999, and it has a total of 10,700 square feet , two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.

Wascana Centre

Wascana Centre is a 9.3 square kilometre park built around Wascana Lake in Regina, Saskatchewan. It brings together lands and buildings owned by the City of Regina, University of Regina, and Province of Saskatchewan, each of which is represented on the board of directors, and contains government, recreational, cultural, educational and environmental facilities. It was designed by the Seattle architect Minoru Yamasaki — famous for design of the original World Trade Center in New York — in tandem with his plans for the Regina Campus of the University of Saskatchewan. His stark modernist plan for the University, which was from the outset a matter of contention as to its suitability for the featureless Regina plain, is evident in the first three buildings of the campus, the laboratory, classroom and library buildings, but the laboratory and library buildings have been substantially altered and the original master plan for the campus has been revamped over time.

Regina Exhibition Park

Evraz Place, formerly Regina Exhibition Park, is an 102-acre event site in the heart of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. It holds entertainment, agribusiness, sporting, recreational and cultural activities. Evraz Place has over half a million square feet of indoor space and close to one million square feet of outdoor space. It is a registered not-for-profit organisation and receives no subsidy. A number of venues comprise the event site, among them the Brandt Centre, a 6000-seat concert and sporting facility that has recently been upgraded; the Queensbury Convention Centre, a convention and banquet facility with break-out meeting rooms and salons which seat 1500; and the Credit Union EventPlex, a 95,000-square-foot multi-use facility with a regulation-size soccer field which can be quickly converted into tradeshow space, and the Cooperators Centre which is a 6-pad hockey facility that hosts many provincial and national events annually.

Regina Floral Conservatory

The Regina Floral Conservatory, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is a conservatory operated by volunteers of the Regina Garden Associates with support from the city of Regina. With tropical plants, trees and blooms, the Conservatory provides a tranquil setting for Regina residents and visitors to the city. Floral displays change regularly and feature seasonal offerings set amid greenery, moist air and the sounds of a waterfall. The conservatory was founded by the city of Regina during the 1950s as a cluster of three greenhouses which grew plants for the city. A portion of this operation was later opened to the public, so visitors could enjoy an indoor green space. In 1991 a volunteer organization, the Regina Garden Associates, was formed to operate a small gift shop at the entrance to the public floral display. The city of Regina formed a partnership with the RGA in 1999 to operate and maintain a 315-square-metre greenhouse display and oversee special events. The RGA hosts several teas and family days at the conservatory each year and manages the rental of the space for weddings, meetings and other events. In 2002, the greenhouse became known as the Regina Floral Conservatory. The conservatory is home to a permanent collection which includes trees, cacti, succulents, tropical plants and orchids. The floral display at the conservatory changes four to six times per year and includes Christmas, tropical and spring displays . The RGA also offers educational programmes at the conservatory for children from preschool to grade eight. Children learn about plant needs and plant parts, plant diversity and adaptations, plants which are commercially important to humankind, the water cycle and composting. Located at 1450B Fourth Avenue, the Regina Floral Conservatory is open to the public from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. seven days a week from September through June . From June to September, the conservatory is open by appointment only. Admission is free, except for special events. Donations are appreciated to help maintain the floral display. The conservatory is wheelchair-accessible and stroller-friendly.

Queen Elizabeth II Court

Queen Elizabeth II Court is the city block containing Regina City Hall, a 16-storey office tower in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan. The city hall is built in the International Style. Opened in 1976, "[t]he construction manager was Poole Construction Limited and the architect, Joseph Pettick. It cost $10.1 million." It replaced two previous city halls—built in 1885-86 and 1908—and a temporary one in the old post office on 11th Avenue at Cornwall Street. By the time the cornerstone was laid in 1906 for the second, the "gingerbread city hall," "[t]he wooden building which had served as Town Hall and as Regina's first City Hall was no longer sufficient for the city's needs. This is not surprising, since the tiny wooden building was used as City Chambers, the police station, the fire hall, a school, a public meeting hall and a banquet hall." The 1908 building "was grand in scope and size, emphasizing the confidence city fathers saw in the future of the city. Built on 11th Avenue between Hamilton and Rose Streets (where the Galleria Mall now stands), the new building was ornately decorated. It was often known as 'The Gingerbread Palace.' Constructed between 1906 -1908, it came into use in 1908 as a city hall, centre of arts, music and literature, and a banquet hall. Like its wooden predecessor, the massive stone structure was used for everything from lectures to dances – even boxing matches were held within its hallowed walls. However, by 1963, the revered old hall was showing its age and all civic offices were moved to the Old Post Office building. The building sat vacant for two years until it was demolished in 1965 to make room for a shopping centre." The temporary city hall in the old post office (the "Prince Edward Building"), was used as a substitute from 1963 to 1975 for the city hall on 11th Avenue between Hamilton and Rose Streets, which had been closed and demolished without plans for any long-term replacement. It is most substantially used as theatre by Globe Theatre, Regina. The current City Hall does not contain or provide facilities for public social and ceremonial activities as its 1910 predecessor did, they not being available elsewhere in Regina then but now are. The current building is far more largely for office work. The city of Regina in 2002 undertook an energy efficiency audit and environmental upgrade to the building.

Qu'Appelle

QuAppelle is a town in Saskatchewan, located on Highway 35 approximately 50 kilometres east of the provincial capital of Regina. QuAppelle was for a time the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the major distribution centre for what was then the District of Assiniboia in the North-West Territories and is now southern Saskatchewan. The town is situated in a lush rolling parkland, with intermittent coulees containing steady-flowing creeks running into the QuAppelle Valley, poplar bluffs and sloughs. QuAppelle had at one stage been credibly anticipated to be the major metropole of the North-West Territories by both the federal government and the Church of England . It was under serious consideration by the federal government as district headquarters of the District of Assiniboia and territorial headquarters of the North-West Territories. The Church of England had in anticipation of QuAppelles future urban importance designated it the cathedral city for the Diocese of QuAppelle, which geographically corresponded precisely to the District of Assiniboia in the North-West Territories. Political events, however, passed QuAppelle entirely by when Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney selected the locale of his own landholdings at Pile-O-Bones as his Territorial capital: QuAppelles significance other than in historical terms then largely lapsed.

C.M. Fines Building

The C.M. Fines Building is a 20 story office tower in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The 20 story building was completed in 1979. The building was designed by Joseph Pettick and features unusual energy-efficient reflective windows containing gold dust, giving the building its distinctive colour. The building houses the corporate offices of Saskatchewan Government Insurance . The building is named after Clarence Melvin Fines who was a Provincial Finance Minister in the 1940s and 50s and played a major role in establishing SGI. From 1979 until 1988 it was the tallest building in Regina. The C.M. Fines Building has had a history of structural problems. In 2004, water damage to the building's post-tension cables necessitated a $3.9 million repair. In 2010, the building was evacuated when high winds damaged a piece of the exterior metal cladding, raising concerns that the glass panels, held in place by the metal, would come loose. In 2012, the Government of Saskatchewan released a tender for a new office building for SGI, with the intention to sell the C.M. Fines Building.
