Discussion City of Regina to Provide $1,648,000 for Extreme Weather Spaces

5 Upvotes

I would like to see 24-hour security provided outside the warming spaces to limit the impact to neighbours. People loiter outside the warming facilities at all hours of the day and night, and there is yelling, profanity, fighting, drug-use, dirty needles, graffiti, emergency vehicles, sirens, fires and garbage.

The report is available here:

Media I like when Cole takes over for Lee

I like when Cole Davenport takes over for Lee Jones on CTV news because he can pronounce words that have more than 2 syllables. Seriously though, someone needs to review scripts with Lee before broadcast.

Discussion Another peaceful summer night ruined by the police plane.

74 Upvotes

Honestly, I get it an eye in the sky is good and supports the ground forces but I've lived in multiple cities in Canada over the last 5 years and Regina is the only city I've lived in where that plane is up every single night and the citizens just seem to be okay with this nightly disturbance.

I just spent 2 weeks in Vancouver and 1 week on Calgary last month and it's not nearly as obnoxious as Regina's police plane. It's 11:35 pm and it's been up there for hours. And almost every night this summer. Gross.

I'm actually considering moving and that's a major reason for it. I'm lucky that I have the means and freedom and essentially I just want to sit out on my deck and enjoy the night and not be constantly reminded of our surveillance state we live in this city or talk to a friend without having to raise my voice just so they hear when it flies over. Talk about a major buzzkill for this city.

Edit: to the people saying this normal city noise and to just accept it, just lol. Clearly you missed my point where I said I've lived in multiple Canadian cities. I also regularly have guests stay with me from larger Canadian cities who are equally as appalled. Regina is a small-medium sized city, if Vancouver doesn't need a constant plane floating around with the amount of crime and drug use there at 10x the size, why does Regina?

Sports Regina Rams tickets

Curious if anyone knows if tickets for an individual game to see Regina Rams football has a discount code or similar? Looking to come into Regina and would love to check out a game. Here in Winnipeg, you can use an alumni code for 2 free tickets per game. Happy to share/swap codes too!

Many thanks in advance!

Question Schooling and Welfare?

31 Upvotes

This may be a dumb question but I honestly have no idea , please be nice about it.

I am F19. So i'm currently on welfare and I pay rent with it for a room plus the food i need and my phone bill. But i've been really wanting to go to school (maybe online because I a have a disability), but can I do schooling while also being on welfare?

I feel stuck and frustrated, because my welfare is the only way to have a place to stay. But i also want a good paying job in the future and have a job I love.

So can i be on welfare while also going to uni? Sorry if i sound dumb.

Community The nicest people I have ever met

180 Upvotes

As an immigrant, I called Regina home for 15 years. I moved there from Toronto in 2010 before relocating to British Columbia in 2026. Back in Toronto, people had warned me that Saskatchewan was a conservative province where immigrants might not feel accepted and could face racism. Instead, I found a deeply welcoming community.

Throughout most of my time there, I worked two jobs to build a life. Whenever I struggled, people were always ready to lend a helping hand, offer an encouraging word, or simply show up with quiet generosity. Being surrounded by that kind of genuine warmth made the hardest days easier and turned a new country into a true home. Good people don't just help you get by, they give you a sense of belonging, lighten your mental load, and make you feel seen and valued.

At the time, I assumed everywhere in Canada would share that same neighborly spirit. While I've met nice people in BC as well, I know deep in my heart that Regina holds a special place. The community there is truly one of the kindest, friendliest, and most open-minded I have ever known, and I genuinely miss living there.
