Regina, Provincial capital in Southern Saskatchewan, Canada
Regina serves as the provincial capital of Saskatchewan and sits on flat prairie land in southern Canada at an elevation of 577 meters (1893 feet). Wascana Creek runs through the central neighborhoods and feeds an artificial lake that anchors the downtown parks and government district.
Settlers first called this place Pile O'Bones because of the buffalo skeletons scattered across the prairie, but the name changed to Regina in 1882 when the Canadian Pacific Railway arrived. The railway transformed the settlement into a regional hub and led to its selection as the capital of the newly formed province in 1905.
Government sessions and public debates take place inside the legislative building, which remains open for guided tours when parliament is not in session. Local theater groups and touring companies perform throughout the year at the downtown venues, drawing audiences from across the prairie region.
Most visitors arrive by car along the Trans-Canada Highway or fly into the international airport south of downtown. The main attractions cluster around Wascana Lake and the government district, where walking becomes the easiest way to move between buildings and parks.
The Royal Saskatchewan Museum displays collections focused on prairie ecosystems and regional natural history, including specimens gathered from across the province. Permanent exhibits trace the development of the landscape and wildlife over thousands of years, offering insight into the geological past of the surrounding flatlands.
