	Regina, Saskatchewan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regina is the provincial capital of Saskatchewan, Canada and was incorporated as a city on June 19, 1903.
		The city was originally known as the "Pile of Bones", because of the large amounts of buffalo bones in the area.

		Council Member Fazzino supported the Planning Commission recommen- dation and had long felt it was foolhardy for the Council to push the LPI out of its current location given the extraordinary contribution that the LPI made to society.
		Council Member Simitian said there was a surplus of commercial space on the market with reasonable rates, and he urged the LPI to be mindful of the fact that the market might not be as advantageous at a later date.
		Council Member Fazzino did not disagree with the comments of Mayor McCown and believed it might be appropriate for the Council to factor in the issues of gender diversity and size of pool into the commission/boards selection process but that should be included in the rules with respect to that process.

	Submission to Regina Public Library (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		That the RPL Board lobby Regina City Council to suspend the elimination of the business tax until the provincial government provides the full grants-in-lieu of taxes that were originally promised.
		It is simply irresponsible on the part of Regina City Council to insist on the complete elimination of the tax in absence of a plan to address the shortfall.
		The library board should also urge Regina City Council to adjust the Commercial Mill Rate factor to increase the revenue raised from the corporate sector so that the tax burden on residential property owners is mitigated.

		It was a tremendous victory for the city's homosexual community, which had sought a proclamation for a "gay pride week" and a defeat for conservative elements in the city.
		In cities like Vancouver and Calgary, where strippers have plied their trade since the 1970s and where homosexual pride is long since out of the closet, these battles must seem remarkably anachronistic and Saskatchewan distinctively quaint.
		Regina's proclamation battle began in 1989 when the city's homosexual community planned its first gay pride week and parade.

		This is due to the fact that the city's proclamation bylaw was amended in July, 1990, to give the Mayor sole discretion to approve a city proclamation, providing it does not "concern any sexual, religious or politically sensitive subject".
		However, in July, Regina's City Council was advised by its City Solicitor that the proclamation bylaw was in conflict with The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, which had been amended in 1993 to include sexual orientation as a protective status.

		Regina, and Wascana/University of Regina, parking enforcement have never shown such grace, in fact I swear they hide behind the shrubs waiting for meters to expire.
		It certainly drove a large wedge into the cities electorate and exposed the unhappiness of a large portion of residents with the current direction being taken by city council.
		A recent PR blitz by the cities management, and executives, to stem the discontent have helped temporarily but I think Regina has a better memory then that and cannot be bought off with their own money.
