As a member of the Regina and surrounding area community, we know how important it is to support our small businesses, local events and charities.  

Canada Day in Regina offers something for everyone, with the main celebration at Wascana Park featuring a pancake breakfast, live music headlined by 54-40, family zones, and fireworks at 10:30 PM. For cultural experiences, visit Government House for performances and family fun, or head to Buffalo Meadows Park for the Tatanka Day Powwow, celebrating Indigenous traditions. The Saskatchewan Science Centre offers hands-on exhibits perfect for families, while the Wascana Lake trails provide peaceful spots to watch fireworks away from the crowds.
