  Regina, Saskatchewan  -  Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
The Latin word regina means "queen," and the city is sometimes called the Queen City of the Plains because of its location in the heart of Canada's prairie region.
Regina became the capital of the Northwest Territories in 1883, was incorporated as a city in 1903, and was made the capital of Saskatchewan when the province was created in 1905.
Traveling through Regina on their way to Ottawa, the workers were protesting the government's failure to end unemployment during the Great Depression (the worldwide economic slump of the 1930s).

 Regina manifesto
The Regina Manifesto was the [forerunner] of the programme of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation [CCF] and was adopted at the first national convention of the CCF held in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1933.
The Manifesto was largely written by members of the League for Social Reconstruction, particularly Frank Underhill and F.R. Scott, and called for "a planned and socialized economy in which our natural resources and principal means of production and distribution are owned, controlled and operated by the people".
The Regina Manifesto remained the CCF's official programme until 1956 when, in the face of the strong anti-communist sentiment of the Cold War, it was replaced by the more moderate Winnipeg Declaration which substituted Keynsianism for socialist remedies.

 Socialist History Project
At the CCF Convention in Winnipeg in 1956, the CCF formally dumped the Regina Manifesto and its commitment to socialism.
As long as the Regina Manifesfo was not superseded by any other programmatic document, it provided socialists in the movement with a lever to resist the liberal-reformist course of the leadership.
One of the arguments that they used to good effect in justifying the dumping of the Regina Manifesto in toto was that many of the minimum (reform) demands that it outlined have since been realized—by Liberal or Tory governments.
