About Regina
In its early days, Regina was little more than a quiet spot along a prairie creek. Native Americans, the earliest inhabitants, hunted bison in the area, leaving the bones stacked beside the water, a practice which resulted in the town's early name - Pile o' Bones. Not until the railroads forged a path through the region in the 1880s, however, did settlers begin to populate the area in any substantial numbers. Most of them took up agriculture, making use of the region's fertile soil and favorable climate. The North West Mounted Police (who evolved into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police) established their headquarters in the city shortly thereafter, creating a lasting presence still served by the force's training academy and affiliate museum. As a sign of its new prominence, the town was also renamed Regina (Latin for "queen") in honor of Britain's Queen Victoria. In an effort to beautify the environment, citizens planted more than 350,000 trees on the plains and constructed a man-made lake, surrounding it with landscaped gardens and green space. Known as Wascana Centre, the area is today the city's most distinguishing feature, home to the grand Legislative Building, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, and the Saskatchewan Science Centre with its IMAX Theater. Nearby, you'll find the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, which details the province's European and Native American history and culture, and the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts. Other Queen City attractions include Casino Regina, which is housed in a beautifully refurbished train station, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the CFL football club that's Regina's source of hometown pride.
