Message from the Mayor On behalf of my colleagues on City Council, I am pleased to welcome you to Regina, Saskatchewan’s capital city. Regina is a vibrant city with a growing population of 200,000. Though the city continues to expand, it maintains its warm, small-town charm and hospitality, while also offering many of the benefits enjoyed by larger metropolitan centres. Regina is a wonderful location to visit with its abundance of parks and the numerous yearround events and attractions that welcome Reginans and tourists alike. Regina, a city whose generous spirit is infectious, serves as a great prairie getaway. During your stay, I encourage you to explore some of the many attractions Regina has to offer, including the RCMP Heritage Centre, the Saskatchewan Science Centre, the Kramer IMAX Theatre, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, and of course, our picturesque Wascana Centre. We also have many unique shops and fine restaurants, and a bustling and attractive downtown where you are sure to discover the warm and friendly nature of our city. Additionally, as sports fans may well know, Regina is the home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Our civic and provincial pride in our football team is no secret, and, if the opportunity presents itself, I urge you to take in a home game at Mosaic Stadium. The energy and excitement of the crowd alone will make the experience second to none.
Working alongside RROC’s Economic Development division, we help to ensure that the Regina region prospers as a vibrant and diversified economy for businesses and investors, a strong destination experience for visitors, and a place of choice with a high quality of life and career opportunities for residents.

North American Indigenous Games brings top athletes to Regina By Judy Bird For L-P Specialty Products
Visitors and residents will not want to miss watching top athletes compete this summer at the 2014 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Regina from July 20 to 27. The games are held once every four years. This is the first time Regina is hosting them. “Our theme is ‘raising the bar,’ and if folks want to come out and witness true athleticism in our aboriginal athletes, as well as some of the cultural activities, I think that folks are going to feel that theme resonate within themselves,” said Joe Daniels, operations manager for Regina 2014 NAIG. Approximately 4,700 athletes, coaches, chaperones and managers are registered for the games, and roughly another 10,000 family members and friends are anticipated to come along to show their support. The athletes range in ages from 13 to 19 and will participate in 15 sports over the week. Sporting events include basketball, softball, baseball, badminton, lacrosse, volleyball, boxing, golf, archery, rifle shooting, athletics, swimming, wrestling, soccer and canoeing. Most of the events will be held at locations around Regina, but some, such as golf, will take place at the Tor Hill Golf Course. The Regina Wild Life Federation will host the rifle shooting and archery events. Non-sporting events also include a cultural village, hosted at the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv). “That’s going to be a premiere venue for not only our athletes, coaches, managers, chaperones and family members,

but also for the public. I think it’s going to be a really big draw for the citizens to go and check out, and get the flavour of some of the different aboriginal cultures that will be in Regina,” said Daniels.

Visitors will experience song, dance, art and other content determined by the region represented. “We are planning to set up a teepee village, and each region will be allocated a teepee to conduct what they want to promote. It’s going to be a really rich environment where people will be able to have a better understanding of aboriginal people
in Canada and in the U.S.,” Daniels said. The Closing Ceremonies, also located at FNUniv, will be a spectacular event. “We’re planning a big fireworks show for that night. It will be something special that NAIG has never seen before,” said Daniels.
Life can be hectic, stressful, loud and crazy. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a relaxing retreat? Our extensive upgrades have breathed new life into our guestrooms and we’re confident they’ll do the same for you. Check in and

Events Admission is free to all sporting events, the cultural village, and the closing ceremonies. Tickets for the opening ceremonies can be purchased through Ticketmaster. “We are also looking for corporate and business sponsors to purchase a block of tickets where we can turn around and give them to socio-economic disadvantaged families living within the inner city of Regina,” said Daniels. About 3,500 volunteers, including 500 French-speaking volunteers, are needed. “We feel that if any city is going to step up and meet the volunteer requirement, it’s going to be the volunteer capital of the world: Regina,” said Daniels.

Plenty of Music to enjoy in Regina By Miranda Burski For L-P Specialty Products
Music is a uniting factor. It brings people together, and can often forge friendships. Thus it’s important to cultivate it, let it grow and make it available to everyone. Here in Regina, this is done, in part, through a variety of music festivals. With so many to choose from, who knows — you might find yourself dancing in the street.
Kicking off Regina’s music festivals this summer is the Casino Regina’s Polka Fest. Held on May 2 and 3 this year, the Polka Fest features three bands that rotate performances throughout each night’s six-hour event. This year, the featured bands are Ken Runge and the Polka Pals, Austin Kawa, and Walter Ostanek and the Western Senators.
Wascana Centre A place for you!
Wascana Centre in Regina is a great place to enjoy all summer long! Stop and smell the flowers in the Queen Elizabeth II Gardens, feed the birds at the Display Ponds, walk, run or bike around Wascana Lake, canoe or kayak, connect with friends or take some time for quiet reflection. There is something for everyone at Wascana Centre! wascana.ca � 306-522-3661 � facebook.com/WascanaCentreRegina � twitter.com/WascanaCentre 14 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014

You might find yourself dancing in the street “The nice thing is, you can park your vehicle, you can come inside and you can spend the entire day in the building,” said Karen Mondor, manager of Entertainment at Casino Regina. “There’s the restaurant, there’s lunch counters. People can also wander over to the mall, if they want.” More information can be found at casinoregina.com. The casino’s downtown location makes it easily accessible to just about any hotel in the city. Other music festivals in Regina, such as the Regina Folk Festival, choose to host their events in the downtown core for much the same reason. Held in Victoria Park each year, the Regina Folk Festival is a three-day event featuring a long list of performers. Past highlights of the event include Feist, k.d. lang, Serena Ryder and Buffy Sainte Marie. The event also makes a point to include a number of Saskatchewan artists, giving the show a local feel. This year’s Regina Folk Festival is being held August 8 to 10. More information can be found at reginafolkfestival.com. While many of the music festivals in Regina feature Saskatchewan bands, those looking for an almost thoroughly local event should drop by the Cathedral Village Arts Festival, which runs from May 19 to 24 this year. This event, which celebrates art of all kinds, includes a variety of musical performances. In the past, it has hosted groups such as Rah Rah, Belle Plaine and Library Voices.

“It’s community that puts it on,” said Bernadette Wagner, chair of the Cathedral Village Arts Festival. She explained that the organizers and everyone involved in making the event a success are volunteers, which helps to make the festival a free event. More information can be found at cathedralartsfestival.ca. For a music festival with a more hyped-up feel, make sure to get tickets for Sasktel Summer Invasion. This threeday action sports and music festival, held in Wascana Park, has featured artists such as Dragonette, Down with Webster, K’Naan and Buckcherry. It also hosts worldclass wakeboarding, motorcross and skateboarding events. More information about the event can be found at summerinvasion.ca. Anyone looking for a more casual setting should check out some of the many performances taking place as part of the Regina Jazz Festival. Being held June 11 to 15 this year, the Regina Jazz Festival features both ticketed and free music performances throughout the city. In the past, the festival has featured such artists as Jason Marsalis,

Royal Wood and Cedar Walton. The event also hosts a large number of local bands, including high school bands, on its free stages. “[The Regina Jazz Festival] is very brand new, very fresh,” said Peter Champagne, president of the festival. “It’s perhaps a lot smaller and condensed than some of the other kinds of festivals … [but] we try to pack as much as we can into what we’re doing.” More information about the festival can be found at jazzfestregina.com. While most of Regina’s music festivals spread their events over multiple days, the Regina Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony Under the Sky limits its event to one day. But that single day is packed with music, food vendors and kids’ activities. Held in Wascana Park, Symphony Under the Sky kicks off the Regina Symphony Orchestra’s music season. The evening finishes with a sampler of the music that will be featured later in the season. More information can be found at reginasymphony.com.

Lose yourself in Regina’s open green spaces By Robyn Tocker For L-P Specialty Products
Amidst the urban jungle, Regina has a little oasis to call its own. Wascana Centre plays host to a list of activities throughout the year. During the spring and summer, when the weather is warmer, Wascana Centre has events every weekend. One of the simplest, yet most enjoyable, things anyone can do is walk around the lake, said Carissa Robb, an employee of Wascana Centre. “People come from all over just to have that feeling of being by the water. No matter if it’s mid-week, they’ll come to use the pathway around the park.” Getting back to the weekend: come on any Saturday and 18 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
there will be something going on. Robb said the more popular events are family oriented, leaving something for everyone. The Canada Day celebrations, Dragon Boat races, and SaskTel Summer Invasion are just a few events Wascana Centre is home to. Another great way to spend your day when the weather gets warm is to go on a ferry boat ride. Robb recommends calling in advance to make sure the date and time is available if you want to schedule a specific time. “If nothing is scheduled at a certain time, you can walk on and pay a fee and get a little tour,” said Robb. Canoe and kayak rentals are also available at the marina, and you can walk up for those.

Not only are water activities available, but there are also a host of spaces perfect for a nice, relaxing picnic. The popular ones are right around Candy Cane Playground because of its unique play structure area. People love the barbeque pits and picnic tables there. Another good area is behind the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and at Lakeshore Park at the end of Hill Boulevard.

To add to the excitement, Robb said, there are new events happening this summer. Colour runs, where family

Centre
20 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
By Miranda Burski For L-P Specialty Products
While the Saskatchewan Science Centre is an attraction that appeals to all age groups, there is a perception that its programming is generally designed with children in mind. But the Science Centre’s staff is working to change that with their monthly Adult Science Nights. “Adult Science Nights are evenings when adults can come to the Science Centre and experience everything that we have to offer without bringing your kids or having a group of schoolchildren interrupting what you’re playing with,” said Julie Fisowich, manager of Programming at the Science Centre. Fisowich explained that Adult Science Nights feature more advanced programing than a usual day at the Science Centre. The exact content of the programing varies from month to month and could include everything from exploring scientific theories to actual heart dissections on Valentine’s Day. The evenings also have a cash bar and snacks available.

The Saskatchewan Science Centre is housed in Regina’s old powerhouse, which was originally built in 1914 and supplied at least some of the power to the city until 1978.
Adult Science Nights started happening regularly about a year ago, but the special Valentine’s Day and Halloween events have been taking place for approximately four years. So far, said Fisowich, the nights have been successful. “It’s really gaining momentum,” she explained. “More and more people know about it and are coming out to all of our adult nights. And we have repeat visitors — people come to one, and then they’ll come to another one and bring a friend.” Held on the third Wednesday of each month — except for special nights such as Valentine’s Day — each Adult Science Night follows a different theme. For example, March’s theme was “The Sound of Science,” focusing on the physics of sound, while April’s theme of “Change, Morph, Renew” focused on how everything from the smallest organism to the largest planets change over

time. The different themes, Fisowich explained, give adults an evening of entertainment in an educational atmosphere. “It is a great experience, but it’s also really good that adults can learn in this way,” she explained. “They may have thought in the past, ‘Science is something I’m not very good at.’ But coming here to an Adult Science Night, you get to have fun and learn something new in an unconventional way. It’s something that’s really unique and that everyone should try.” More information about the Science Centre’s Adult Science Nights can be found at sasksciencecentre.com.

Civic Museum of Regina celebrates city’s history By Miranda Burski For L-P Specialty Products
A city’s history shapes that city’s present. And the new Civic Museum of Regina is an excellent place to learn about how Regina has become the city it is today. Shari Sokochoff, the museum’s executive director, said the Civic Museum’s collection is comprised of approximately 20,000 artifacts; between 5,000 and 10,000 of those artifacts are on display in the museum’s 14 exhibit areas at any given time. While many of these artifacts were on display at the Regina Plains Museum — the original name and location of the Civic Museum of Regina — most are items that the public may never have seen in the past. “There will be a lot more for the public to see,” said Sokochoff. “We have a carriage — it would be a horsedrawn carriage — that was tucked away in the warehouse. The public never did get a chance to see it. That will be on display here.” While two of the museum’s exhibits — the Jacqueline Berting glass wheat strands exhibit and the Capital Theatre
22 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
exhibit — are permanent in nature, the other 12 will, after the museum’s first two years, change approximately twice per year. This will give the visitors the chance to see something new each time they visit. This changing nature is just one of the many ways in which the museum will be making sure the community feels welcome. “In this location, we will have two designated areas that are focused on the community,” said Sokochoff. “We’re focused on Regina, its citizens and bringing community into the organization.” The first space, called “Community Revolve,” will invite local artists, writers and others to share their craft with visitors. The second space, “Resource and Reflection Area,” will provide visitors with library resources, as well as a space where they can sit and read or reflect on those resources.

Royal Saskatchewan Museum showcases aboriginal traditions L-P Specialty Products
A trip to Regina would not be complete without a visit to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and the First Nations Gallery. This unique and true-to-life gallery was designed in consultation with elders, advisors and artists from various First Nation communities. Their shared knowledge and advice was vital to the development of the outstanding cultural exhibits. “We were one of the first museums in Canada to engage First Nation people in this kind of cultural exchange, and the exhibits reflect that,” said Evelyn Siegfried, curator of Aboriginal Studies at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. “The gallery is thematic, presenting the worldview, material culture, the seasonal round on the plains and changes in transportation through time.” A very special addition to the gallery is a traditional bisonhide tipi, which was commissioned for one of the central exhibits named the Winter Camp. “This very rare dwelling is a great example of how the Royal Saskatchewan Museum provides a place where First Nations and nonFirst Nations visitors learn about the past and our shared heritage as a province,” said Siegfried. The gallery showcases the five nations in Saskatchewan: Assiniboin (Nakota), Sioux (Lakota and Dakota), Cree (Nehiyawak), Saulteaux (Anishinabeg) and Chipewyan (Dene).
tourismregina.com
According to Siegfried, nations throughout the world identify themselves in unique cultural ways. “What you see in this gallery are the different cultural expressions of these five nations, each unique from the others,” she explained. “Each person who created items for use, like moccasins or gloves, incorporated their own interpretations based on the general cultural style followed by their nation.” The First Nations Gallery has beautiful examples of the different beadwork styles found throughout Saskatchewan. The Woods Cree, Chipewyan and Saulteaux beadwork is floral with softer, earth colours, as under muted forest light. The Plains Cree, Assiniboin and Sioux beadwork generally incorporates geometric designs with some rare floral work and uses strong, brighter colours, as found in bright sunlight. “The gallery space is filled with exhibits created by First Nations people and museum staff and is a space that is rich with First Nations traditional knowledge and history,” said Siegfried.

have undergone basic training in Regina,” said Bianca McGregor, marketing director. “Saskatchewan truly is the home of the RCMP, and, as our tagline suggests, the tradition really does live here. “
Built in 2007, the RCMP Heritage Centre is the only national centre mandated to tell the RCMP story. It’s appropriately located on the grounds where the RCMP had its headquarters from 1882 to 1920. The training facility, known as “Depot,” was established in 1885 and is still in use today.
McGregor also pointed out an interesting historical note: the RCMP Rough Riders have been around longer than their football brethren. “Sgt. Major Sam Steele trained the first Rough Riders on the Prairies over the winter of 1873/74,” she explained. “History tells us that Steele was ordered to establish the new North West Mounted Police headquarters at Regina, and their Rough Riders became a very colourful piece of our culture and history.”
“For almost 130 years, over 50,000 RCMP members

According to McGregor, all of the Heritage Centre programming and exhibits are fun and educational for visitors of all ages. “We offer something for everyone, including state-of-the-art multi-media presentations and permanent exhibits. Visitors get a glimpse into both the history of the force and modern day policing. “ In 1974, the RCMP welcomed the first troop of female recruits to “Depot.” To pay tribute to this historic anniversary, the Heritage Centre will feature a summer exhibit that celebrates 40 years of women in RCMP service, as well as the history of the first female troop.

Hoop Dancing Photo Courtesy of Jenn Nelson
By Sheila Bautz For L-P Specialty Products
First Nations people are renowned storytellers who pass their legends on to the next generation. Hoop dancing, one form of storytelling, has a sacredness that extends beyond a dance performance. Originally a healing dance, it is a way of life taken very seriously by a dancer. “We use the hoop dance to educate our non-native brothers and sisters through our stories and dances. We offer a description before we dance to help make sense about why we are dancing that way,” said Terrance Littletent, world-champion First Nations hoop dancer. Growing up in a traditional setting, Littletent’s uncle taught him the ways of the hoop dance. Five basic traditional teachings must be practiced daily before learning to become a hoop dancer: listen, watch, learn, respect, and love and kindness. By doing so, a dancer honours those traits within himself, the Creator, Mother Earth, his elders, his mentors, his parents and everyone that is around the dancer from all walks of life. 28 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
“Each hoop has a spirit. Each hoop you pick up and put it over and through your body, your body consumes that spirit of love and kindness,” said Littletent. In addition to the significance of the five hoops, Littletent’s dance involves a total of 17 hoops in his storytelling. His dance tells the story of the eagle from the eagle’s perspective. Littletent created designs with the hoops to portray in his dance how the eagle sees the Earth’s inhabitants, such as a buffalo or the flowers, below its nest. “It takes 17 weeks for a full mature eagle to leave its nest. When I pick up that first hoop, I go in and out of the hoop, it represents the birth of that eagle. Each hoop that I pick up tells the significance of what that eagles sees,” said Littletent. “That last hoop I pick up in my dance, and I have all 17 hoops, Eagle jumps from its nest and takes off to start his or her life and own circle of life.”

Uniqueness and originality in the interpretation of the storytelling dance is sought by the dancer while he is developing a hoop dance, to demonstrate the significance of the story. “This is not just a dance to me,” said Littletent, who has dedicated himself to the ceremonial dance first. “I dedicated my love and respect for this dance. It’s the values. The laws of the First Nation Teachings we teach to our next generation. The basis of all mankind. It’s a way of my teachings and life to carry my legacy on for my family that I am now passing down to my nephew,

Steven Obey Jr.,” said Littletent. “My uncle always told me the hoop dance will take me more places than it ever did for him,” Littletent added. “When I travel to hoop dance, I always thank the Mother Earth, the Creator, all the different animals I portray in my dance to give me the strength of my story.” First Nations Hoop dances can be seen at powwows, and during the National American Indigenous Games and other celebrations.

Hear the crack of the bat!
By Andrew Livingstone For L-P Specialty Products
Baseball fans will hear the crack of the bat ring out across Mount Pleasant Park this summer as the 2014 season of Regina Red Sox baseball heats up at Curry Field. “It’s family entertainment that’s reasonably priced,” said Red Sox team president Gary Brotzel. “It’s a good way to spend a summer evening.” The team works hard through an intense schedule, so spectators can find plenty of opportunities to take in a game if they check the team’s website. “It’s a real tight, compacted season, for sure,” Brotzel said. “It’s jampacked — we might get about eight nights off in total if there’s not a lot of rain. “Our first game is on the 31 of May, and the season usually ends around August 17. That’s kind of our ‘drop dead’ date, and we cut it off that short because a lot of our American athletes start school so early down there.” Although still competitive, the team did not achieve the championship title in 2013 as they did in the two previous years, an outcome that has renewed its determination to succeed in 2014. 32 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
Part of the Western Major Baseball League, the Red Sox are now in their 10th season in the league, which is now officially a collegiate baseball summer league. This allows the team to recruit players from recognized collegiate baseball programs across the United States and Canada, creating a calibre of play that is often surprising. “It’s very good baseball,” Brotzel said. “I always hear from people who are first-timers that come out who say, ‘Wow, I had no idea these guys are as good as they are! It’s like watching a minor-league baseball game.’ ” Of course, value is another good reason to spend a few dollars on a game this summer. “You can come and get into the park for $10 or less, depending on whether you’re an adult or a child,” Brotzel said. The price is even lower for season ticket holders. “You can get a season ticket pass for $200 for the year, and that includes some parking privileges for Curry Field this year.” For more information, include the schedule and ticket information, visit reginaredsox.com.

Welcome to the city that cheers the loudest

By Blair Braitenbach For L-P Specialty Products
2013 was a banner CFL year for Saskatchewan Roughriders fans, culminating in a historic Grey Cup victory on home soil. By taking that momentum in stride, 2014 is shaping up to be another high-octane season filled with exciting events for all of Rider Nation to revel in. The Riders’ 2014 football season will kick off on a high note with its first pre-season game against the Ottawa RedBlacks at Mosaic Stadium. Another historic first in Regina, the RedBlacks will be playing their first home game in Mosaic Stadium while their own stadium in Ottawa is being completed. Plans include having RedBlacks players enter the field from the Roughriders’ inflatable helmet, while the Riders will be situated on the visitors’ side of the field. As well, the RedBlacks’ mascot will make its debut at the game. 34 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
“We are honoured to have this opportunity to welcome the RedBlacks into the league, and we know our fans are going to be excited about this, as well. Being a preseason game, and a bit unique, we’re going to have some fun with this,” explained Gregg Sauter, Roughriders vice president of marketing and business development. Attending any home game in Regina guarantees an exciting experience, Sauter said. In addition to the camaraderie and live sporting drama, fans can partake in all kinds of fun events away from the on-field action. New stadium video display features, additions to the Fan Fest all-ages area, improvements to the Play It Safe Day Riderville cabaret in September and 101st Grey Cup Champion celebrations are but a few of the upcoming season’s highlights.

“We like to think it’s among the best atmospheres in Canadian sports, and we continue to look for ways to make game day even more special,” Sauter said. If fans aren’t able to make it to Regina for any of the games, Sauter recommends the Livestream pre-game broadcast at riderville.com. The broadcast includes pre-game warmups, interviews and game-day analysis. Other great ways to be a part of the Riders experience include supporting local establishments showcasing the game. And for those eager to show their Rider Pride, clothing and accessories can be purchased at any of the four official Rider outlet stores in Saskatoon and Regina, as well as many other unofficial retailers.

Tour a taste of the Prairies
Photos Courtesy of Miranda Burski
By Mike Shiplack For L-P Specialty Products
In the last decade, there’s been an explosion of growth and taste in both the craft beer and craft distilling market throughout North America. Sweeping changes in legislation from the Government of Saskatchewan now allow local distillers and craft brewers from Regina and area to legally brew a taste of the prairies. Many are coming out of their garages and basements looking to build a new industry the only way they know how: from scratch. And they want you to see every part of the process. Both Last Mountain Distillery in Lumsden and District Brewery in Regina are now offering tours, and tastings. Only 15 minutes outside Regina, Last Mountain Distillery is located right off Highway #11. Just look for Lumsden’s RCMP detachment, and you’ll see the new 5,000-squarefoot Last Mountain Distillery building right beside it. Complete with a 600-gallon mash ton, the Schmidt familyowned distillery produced 30,000 litres of whisky and vodka last year — currently, regulations allow for 50,000 litres per year. The copper still is used to make a variety of rum, whisky and vodka, which are available in the tasting area. Colin Schmidt has found a lot of success so far, having won Canadian Whisky Awards in Victoria, B.C. The Private Reserve won silver and “Sippin’ Whisky of the Year — Domestic Market,” and their regular blended whisky won bronze. They also offer a whisky distillate called White Dog, a dill pickle vodka only available at the distillery store, chili pepper vodka packed with heat grown right in Lumsden, Mayor’s premium spiced rum and a honeycinnamon liqueur. Last Mountain is not available in SLGA stores, but is available at the Regina Farmers’ Market, select off-sales, and the distillery’s Lumsden store. Tasting and tours for groups of six to 15 people are available. Book your tour by appointment at lastmountaindistillery.com.

District Brewing Company (1555 8th Avenue) is a little bit different from the craft brews that started in a basement. Jay Cooke — the brewer, visionary and brains behind the beer — has his brewing certificate from the Siebel Institute in Chicago. After a brief stint learning a few craft secrets in Germany, and then working for the big brewers in Canada, he decided to go his own way and open Regina’s first locally owned and operated brewery. Müs Knuckle, a Munich Helles-style beer, is District’s flagship brew. Unlike other craft breweries, District Brewery is focusing all their efforts on Müs Knuckle before expanding into other types of beer. So far, the tactic appears to be working. Available at SLGA, off-sales, and a growing number of pubs and restaurants, Müs Knuckle is easily accessible throughout the city. Built in a converted gymnasium, District Brewery houses a full brew system complete with three 100-hectolitre fermenters. The tour offers interesting insight into the brewing process, and visitors will notice how much room there is for District Brewery to grow. The tasting area is the perfect place to learn the complexities of the brewing process firsthand. Book your tour at districtbrewing.ca.

Moose Jaw: Surprisingly unexpected By Robyn Tocker For L-P Specialty Products
Visiting Moose Jaw can be about more than just the spa and tunnels. While they are certainly fantastic locations to spend your time, there are many other spots (and activities) to hold your attention during your stay, as Candis Kirkpatrick from Tourism Moose Jaw points out. During the spring and summer months, Kirkpatrick said, there are a number of options for activities. There’s a water park, an outdoor pool and great walking trails that connect most of the city. If you’re a bird lover, you can visit a feeding station where chickadees will come up to you and eat right out of your hand. For those of you who love the water, you can kayak and canoe on the river. Both kayaks and canoes are available to rent if you don’t have your own. Moose Jaw also has a special little shop called Oliv. The 46 T R A V E L R e g i n a Spring/Summer 2014
store specializes in selling olive oil, and only olive oil. The owners, who originally are from South Africa, have a tasting room where they’ll show combinations of flavours of olive oil and mix it in front of you. “It’s an extremely cool place … they are located in the Grant Hall in Moose Jaw, a hotel that has been completely refurbished. It just recently opened, so they’re now in a beautiful, historic building in downtown Moose Jaw,” said Kirkpatrick. If you’re interested in seeing some wonderful prairie art, Moose Jaw has the Yvette Moore Gallery, which is sure to pique visitors’ interest. Moore’s gallery primarily highlights her own art, but feature artists can be seen at the Cultural Theatre and the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery.

Visiting Moose Jaw can be about more than just the spa and tunnels. Moose Jaw has many restaurants that are sure to get your taste buds tickling. Kirkpatrick said Hopkins Dining Parlour is one of them. “It was built in 1905 and is haunted. It has an element of interest when people go there.”
people in Canada. “It’s a very popular destination for not only the summer, but for school, year-end trips and that sort of thing. It’s going into its 15th summer season, which is pretty significant.”
Bobby’s Place is an interesting little pub downtown with great fish and chips and a trivia night. Déjà Vu is quite popular because of its 50 varieties of chicken wings and sauces. Cornerstone has pub food, but it’s the atmosphere that catches people’s attention. And while there are other great, local restaurants, Kirkpatrick points out that there are chains like Brown’s Social House in the city, as well.
Kirkpatrick pointed out that, while people often seek out the tunnels and spa, she and her team constantly surprise them with all that can be done in the city. “It’s one of our secrets. We recognize that we’re a mixed bag; we are not just a two-trick pony. We’ve got a lot more for people to enjoy in the city.” Visit tourismmoosejaw.ca for more information.
If you don’t know what the Moose Jaw tunnels are, you’ve been missing out. There are two kinds of tunnels to tour — the ones suspected to have been used by Al Capone, another to tell the story of the persecution of the Chinese

Twilite Drive-In By Mike Shiplack For L-P Specialty Products
The classic drive-in movie theatre is alive and well in southern Saskatchewan, and it’s even gone digital. Thanks to the generous support of the people of Wolseley and the surrounding area, Twilite Drive-in Theatre has a bright future ahead.
In 1954, when the Twilite Drive-in was built by Stan Zaba, drive-ins were a common sight throughout many small towns in Saskatchewan. Today, only two remain. Many didn’t survive the switch from 35mm film to digital. However, after several fundraisers, Don Zaba, son of Stan, was able to keep the family business rolling.

My kids are all grown up now, and it supplied them with jobs and jobs for the community. It drew extra revenue into the town for many years, and it’s a great asset for the town of Wolseley.”

Prices are subject to change, but last year it was $7 for adults, $6 for students and $4 for children. The Sunday night carload special was just $17 per vehicle.
“You can bring your children in the cars and dressed in their PJs. It’s only a 45-minute drive outside Regina,” said Zaba. “We get a lot of patrons from Regina coming out.

St. Victor Petroglyphs live through shadow By Mike Shiplack For L-P Specialty Products
If you love human history, then hop in the car for a short road trip and drive southwest toward Assiniboia. Don’t stop until you find the town of St. Victor, and just above it St. Victor Petroglyphs — the drive takes about 2.5 hours.
A favourite carving of David Munro, president and founding member of Friends of St. Victor Petroglyphs, is the human face that is only visible in the early morning. It’s carved in such a way that the shadows slowly morph it into a skull by early evening.
Over a thousand years old, and etched into sandstone, there are 340 carvings created by various aboriginal tribes from the region.
There is an interpretive centre on site, and tours are available upon request. Munro reminds visitors that “this is a very sacred site and visitors should respect it on the grounds that they look at it and go away with memory, and not anything more than that.”
Black bears, grizzly bears, bison, elk, deer, handprints, footprints, various animal tracks and even human faces are just some of the marvels etched into the flat stone surfaces. Part of the magic is how the petroglyphs rely on the positioning of the sun to be visible.
