Regina Halal Travel Guide

Regina is home of the RCMP Training Academy and the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders. Before Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces, Regina was the former capital of the Northwest Territories. Louis Riel was executed in the city.

Wascana Centre, created around the focal point of Wascana Lake, remains one of Regina's attractions and contains the Provincial Legislative Building, both campuses of the University of Regina, First Nations University of Canada and the provincial museum of natural history and the Regina Conservatory (in the original Regina College buildings) and the Saskatchewan Science Centre and the MacKenzie Art Gallery and the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts.

Residential neighbourhoods include precincts beyond the historic downtown are historically or socially interesting neighbourhoods – namely Lakeview and The Crescents, both of which lie directly south of downtown. Immediately to the north of the central business neighborhood is the old warehouse neighborhood, increasingly the focus of shopping, late night restaurants and residential development; as in other western cities of North America and the periphery contains shopping malls and big box stores.

As demand has risen for Saskatchewan's agricultural and mineral resources, Regina has enjoyed a period of strong economic growth.

History

The site had been called Wascana ("Buffalo Bones" in Cree), but was renamed "Regina" (Latin for "Queen") in 1882 in honour of Queen Victoria. This decision was made by Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Louise, who was the wife of the Governor General of Canada and the Marquess of Lorne.

Unlike other planned cities in the Canadian West, on its treeless flat plain Regina has few topographical features other than the small spring run-off, Wascana Creek. Early planners took advantage of such opportunity by damming the creek to create a decorative lake to the south of the central business neighborhood with a dam a block and a half west of the later elaborate 260-metre (850 ft) long Albert Street Bridge across the new lake. Regina's importance was further secured when the new province of Saskatchewan designated the city its capital in 1906.

In 1912 and the Regina Cyclone destroyed much of the town; in the 1930s and the Regina Riot brought further attention and, in the midst of the 1930s drought and Great Depression, which hit the Canadian Prairies particularly hard with their economic focus on dry land grain farming. The predecessor of the New Democratic Party (the main left-wing political party in Canada), formulated its foundation Regina Manifesto of 1933 in Regina.

Stay Safe

Much like Saskatoon, Regina has a higher-than-average crime rate per capita, but unless you go out looking for trouble, nothing is likely to happen to you. The downtown area is very safe, though you may run into the occasional panhandler or drunken person at night.

The two main neighbourhoods to avoid in Regina are the North Central and Heritage/Chinatown neighborhoods, (which are located northwest and northeast of the downtown core), and where most of the crime and prostitution is concentrated.
