WELCOME TO REGINA

MESSAGE from the MAYOR On behalf of my colleagues on City Council, it is an honour to welcome you to Regina, Saskatchewan’s capital city. Regina is a vibrant city with a growing population of about 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 innumberable year-round events and attractions that welcome Reginians 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 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 Mosiac Stadium. The energy and excitement of the crowd alone will make the experience second to none.

If this is your first visit to Regina, I know it will be the first of many. If you are a returning visitor, you have already felt Regina’s inescapable attraction as you explore new adventures time and again.

TOURISM TALK TO There is s something about the spring and summer seaso seasons on the prairies that renews us, warms us, and sets us on a path of great adventure. As the snow melts away, and the long days of sunshine settle in around us, the spirit of renewal becomes contagious and the city thrives with energy, events and new experiences to be discovered.

The spirit of renewal that springs forth at this time of year has also crossed over into this publication. On April 4th of this year, the tourism division of the Regina Regional Opportunities Commission created a new identity and under RROC’s umbrella, became Tourism Regina. We have embraced a new name and fresh look with this first version of Travel Regina. I invite you to delve into all the information at your fingertips and discover what there is to experience in Regina by enjoying this publication and visiting our new website at tourismregina.com.

This year is shaping up to be a fantastic year of events for Regina with numerous annual signature events happening all season long and of course the excitement that will envelop the city when we host the JUNO Awards in April and the 101st CFL Grey Cup in November. I encourage you to take full advantage of all the reasons to get out there and celebrate in this fabulous city!

Sincerely, Wanda Posehn VP, Tourism Tourism Regina

Sincerely, Michael Fougere, Mayor

EVENTS Your Experience starts here Discovering a new place is one of life’s greatest joys.

There are so many new things to learn and experience, deciding where to start can be somewhat overwhelming — especially when you have specific interests. Tourism Regina has created the following icons identifying four distinct types of travellers to help guide you to the experiences in this issue of Travel Regina. Each story in this issue has been identified with an icon that best represents the activity. When you visit our website at tourismregina.com, you will find the same icons to guide you online. Happy exploring!

Crown icon Traveller type: Cultural Explorer This type of traveller is easy-going and creative. You enjoy talking to the locals, getting in on the action, and taking the road less travelled. You are most likely to enjoy visiting heritage sites, cultural events, museums and festivals. Be sure to check out the events calendars that start on page 52 for some inspiration to start your cultural experience.

Why a crown?

Regina is sometimes referred to as the “Queen City” because the word “regina” is Latin for queen. The crown icon represents this regal connection. The crown is also represented on the city flag and the logo of Tourism Regina.

ith exciting grand-scale events that showcase Regina on both national and international stages, 2013 is shaping up to be the city’s year to shine.

Every year, Regina boasts a lengthy list of recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike to revel in. This year, in addition to annual favourites like Mosaic: Festival of Cultures in June and the Regina Folk Festival in August, Regina will be host to two of Canada’s highest profile events: the JUNO Awards on April 21 and the Canadian Football League’s 101st Grey Cup on Nov. 24.

Sandra Jackle, the special events consultant with Tourism Regina, said with weeklong celebrations taking place throughout the city leading up to both the JUNOS and Grey Cup, Regina is going to be Canada’s party headquarters.

Those who can’t make it to Regina to be there in person will still get a taste of what’s happening in the Queen City through their television sets.

“We’re thrilled Regina is going to be the host city to these two prestigious arts and sporting events,” Jackle explained.

“As Regina continues to receive greater recognition as a tourism destination, events such as the JUNOS and Grey Cup only serve to further our reputation as a dynamic and cultural hub.”

Lily icon Traveller type: Authentic Experiencer This type of traveller is independent and curious. For you, travel is a lifelong journey of learning. You love immersing yourself in the places you visit, before, during and after. You are most likely to enjoy visiting nature reserves, world heritage sites, hiking trails and museums. Be sure to read the Team Tracker story on page 35 to learn about a truly authentic experience.

Why a lily?

The official provincial flower of Saskatchewan is the Red Western Lily.

Bird icon Traveller type: Free Spirit This type of traveller is looking for luxury. You enjoy highend accommodations, delicious culinary adventures and seeing what there is to see. You are most likely to enjoy luxury hotels, tourism hot spots, the top restaurants and night clubs. Be sure to check out the story on Regina’s boutiques on page 38 to begin your experience.

Why a bird?

With over 350 species to be observed during spring and fall migrations, bird-watching in Saskatchewan is a yearround activity.

Family icon Traveller type: Family-Friendly/No-Hassle Traveller This type of traveller likes to keep it simple: decide where to stay and how to get there, and leave your worries behind. You are most likely to enjoy going to festivals, theatre performances and museums, and participating in guided tours. Be sure to read where the best ice cream is in the city on page 17.

EVENTS

plenty of events in 2013 Jackle said that the events will bring plenty of recognition not only to the city itself, but also, and more importantly, to the people who make the province great. JUNO Fest, for example, will see musicians from all points of the provincial compass performing at various venues throughout Regina and Moose Jaw. “It will definitely showcase the music scene in Regina, as well as many other Saskatchewan musicians,” said Jackle.

“We’re also excited to have so many famous singers and songwriters here, such as Michael Bublé, host of this year’s JUNO Awards, to showcase our city to. It is equally exciting for our own local artists to be a part of JUNO Fest.”

In terms of the Grey Cup celebrations, “I think it’s going to be the event of the year. Tagged as the ‘Celebration in Rider Nation’, it promises to be the ultimate party on the prairies,” Jackle said with a laugh.

Of course, the JUNOS and Grey Cup are but two of the many premier events taking place throughout Regina in 2013. Notably, a wide variety of sporting championships will bring people from across Canada to compete In Regina.

Beginning on March 15, the University of Regina will play host to the CIS Women’s Basketball Championship.

From April 10 to 13 is the Senior National Broomball Championship; May 18 to 20 is the 15U Canadian West Volleyball Championships; July 26 to 28 is the Canadian Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships, as well as the

U16/U18 Canadian Flag Football National Championships; and Dec. 5 to 8 is the Skate Canada Challenge, which will see about 500 skaters from across the country competing on the six rinks in the Cooperators Centre at Evraz Place.

Other annual events that highlight Regina’s prairie and western heritage are Canada’s Farm Progress Show and the Canadian Western Agribition, which draw thousands of individuals each year to Regina. Happening from June 19 to 21, the Farm Progress Show is billed as Canada’s largest dry-land farm technology show. Taking place Nov. 11 to 16, Agribition features the CCA Finals Rodeo, a massive tradeshow, livestock sales, a kid’s rodeo, exhibitions and more.

If sports and western culture aren’t your thing, that’s no problem. There are also Saskatchewan Fashion Week, Cathedral Arts Festival and the Highland Games in May; Mosaic: Festival of Cultures in June; Canada Day celebrations, Summer Invasion, Queen City Ex and Regina Fringe Festival in July; Regina Folk Festival and Symphony Under the Sky in August; the Dragon Boat Festival in September; and many, many more!

So whether you’re a participant or spectator, Regina has no shortage of fun and exciting events to check out in 2013 — wherever your passions might lie. For more information on what events are happening in Regina, visit the online events calendar at tourismregina.com.

Céad míle fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) from the Saskatchewan

Highland Gathering

By Robin Tocker For L-P Specialty Products

F

or 17 years, Regina has had the pleasure of hosting the newly titled Saskatchewan Highland Gathering and Celtic Festival, put on by the Regina Highland Festival Association (RHFA). The festival was put together to promote and encourage participation in traditional Scottish athletics, dance and music. “The games also encourage participation of the general public through the festival atmosphere, including fun events designed for those with no formal background in these arts and athletics,” said Sharon Schmidt, the president of RHFA. The games are broken up into four areas: solo piping and drumming, pipe bands, dance, and the crowd pleasing favourite — the heavy events. The excitement of seeing a man or woman toss a cabre is something you don’t want to miss.

On May 18, “sister” games will be held in Moose Jaw from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. On May 19, the games will start at 8:30 a.m. on the University of Regina campus. Following the day’s competition, a ceilidh — a traditional Gaelic social gathering — will be held for participants and enthusiasts to celebrate the end of the games with music and dancing.

One of the standout events is the Queen City Championship, a highland dance competition coordinated by Sutton’s School of Scottish Dance. It has been approved by the Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing and will include performances by talented dancers. This year, visitors to the games can look forward to seeing a performance by Iain MacDonald and the City of Regina Pipe Band, known to be the top band in the province. Solo piping and drumming 12 TR AVE L R E G I N A Spring/Summer 2013

will involve people from all across Canada, including adjudicators Bob Worrall from Toronto and Sean Somers from Calgary. The Western Canadian Heavy Events Championship holds an impressive recordholder, Jason Johnston, who holds city records in events like stone putt and hammers and is a national and provincial title holder in each of the heavy events.

“The festival encourages community spirit and interaction by offering unique spectators activities ... [It] provides a wonderful family atmosphere in which people of all ages ... are amazed and Photos courtesy of excited to see so many unique Lisa Mitchell symbols of Scottish culture,” said Schmidt. There will also be a vendors market where you can pick up something uniquely Scottish, like a clan badge, sporran, sgian dubh (pronounced skeen doo, known in English as a sock dagger) or even a kilt.

Summer Invasion conquers Wascana

By Ryan Hall For L-P Specialty Products

F

rom its inception over 10 years ago as a wakeboarding event, Sasktel Summer Invasion has grown from a local event into a nationally recognized festival.

Organized by Off Axis Board Riders Club, a non-profit organization, the growth of Summer Invasion has seen the addition of skateboarding and motocross to the weekend.

Then, with SaskTel joining as the title sponsor in 2006, it went on to incorporate live music.

Along the way, Summer Invasion has expanded to provide something for everyone, including a family zone with bouncers, face painting and games for kids, plus a vendor village featuring products and services from many local entrepreneurs, artists and businesses. All of this has resulted in the festival drawing over 10,000 visitors each year and gaining attention as a world-class event. “Our goal has always been to provide a really fun festival that is accessible to the entire local community, while also being a draw for out-of-town visitors,” said Doug Elder, event

organizer. “This has helped SaskTel Summer Invasion to become one of Saskatchewan’s premier summer events.”

This year, Summer Invasion is slated to run from July 5 to 7 at Wascana Park. Daytime admission is free, and each day will feature high-energy freestyle motocross, wakeboarding and skateboarding events. For those interested in the music side of Summer Invasion, 2013 marks the beginning of a greater emphasis on local artists and bands. As Elder said, “With the JUNOS in Regina this year, we really wanted to provide a platform for Saskatchewan artists to perform, and we think showcasing them at SaskTel Summer Invasion is the perfect opportunity.” To accommodate this, a second stage is being set up, dedicated to homegrown talent.

Tickets for the evening concerts will be on sale later in the spring, and considering past years’ acts have included Our Lady Peace, Hedley, Marianas Trench and Theory of a Deadman, they are sure to go quickly.

Stand-up Paddleboarding on Wascana Lake

By Ryan Hall For L-P Specialty Products

S

ummertime in Regina and Wascana Lake. For many, the two are inseparable; they both involve sunshine, walking through the trees and, of course, taking to the water. For those who enjoy getting out on the water, there is nothing better than stand-up paddleboarding (SUPing).

Originally called “beach boy surfing” — named for the famous Waikiki beach boys who combined outrigger canoe paddling skills with their surfing abilities — SUPing has quickly grown into a global phenomenon. Using boards that are larger and more stable than surfboards, paddlers ride standing up while using a long shafted paddle for propulsion and steering. Though boarders need to have some sense of balance, once the sport is mastered its only limits are

self-imposed. “The great appeal of SUPing is that you don’t have to be an athlete to give this a try,” said Aaron Hackel, owner of Explore Sports, a Regina company that offers lessons and equipment rental to anyone wanting to try SUPing or kiteboarding. “That means it appeals to all ages, and makes this a great family activity.”

The growth in SUPing has led to it becoming a popular way to explore many of Saskatchewan’s lake and rivers and an excellent way to combine exercise and fun. The constant motion of paddling and maintaining your balance works hundreds of different muscles, all with zero impact and no stress on the knee and ankle joints. Riders are free to go at their own pace and are encouraged to pick a speed that is enjoyable and fits them. “The most important thing is having fun and enjoying one of Regina’s gems — Wascana,” said Hackel.

Best ice cream: sweet memories in Regina

By Michele Tyndall L-P For L P Specialty Products

I

ce cream is more than a dessert. For some, it is a symbol of childhood; for others, the taste of it evokes hot summer days at the beach. And because it offers so many diverse flavours, shapes and sizes, ice cream can create a different memory for everyone who indulges in this cool, sweet treat.

Photo courtesy of the Regina Hotel Association

Getting ice cream in Regina isn’t just a quick trip to the grocery store — it can be an adventure.

Anyone who lives in Regina knows that the sure signs of spring are the familiar lineups at the Milky Way, a Regina landmark since 1956.

While not many of us are likely to be travelling into space any time soon, the Saskatchewan Science Centre offers a little taste of the cosmos with their famous Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream.

The Milky Way opens just before Easter every year and stays open until Thanksgiving. It provides the city with over 40 types of hard ice cream, six flavours of soft ice cream, and a terrific variety of shakes, sundaes and floats.

A party in the Science Centre’s Space Stadium Canada includes scientific treats that include “astronaut ice cream.” Liquid nitrogen freezes the ice cream to such a low temperature that the ice crystals that make up ice cream are noticeably smaller, creating a rich and creamy taste sure to please every palate.

Maybe you like your ice cream with a side of learning and a dash of science. Maybe you want to create a secret recipe to share with your family. Or maybe the taste of Tiger Tiger on a hot summer night is your idea of romance. No matter what memories you are creating, ice cream in Regina is sure to sweeten them up.

ocated 45 minutes from Regina, a hidden paradise in the Qu’Appelle valley transforms the image of flat prairie. The allure of the natural beauty in the district complements the historic sites, tourist attractions and events that draw visitors to gather by four lakes — The Calling Lakes — which have the added appeal of mystery as legends hover over the waters.

“This is Saskatchewan’s best-kept secret,” said Kerri Ward, economic development officer for the Calling Lakes region. “From family recreation to peaceful serenity by the water to extreme sports, we have something to offer everyone.”

The Calling Lakes consist of four bodies of water: Echo, Pasqua, Mission and Katepwa. Amidst them are the Echo Valley and Katepwa Point provincial parks. A summer paradise, the area is a haven for beautiful beaches with captivating shorelines. The valley’s backdrop has an abundance of wild berry bushes and an array of wildlife.

The wilderness setting laced with legend has a magnetic quality to it. It attracts wildlife photographers and is a popular setting for photography classes and retreats.

Artists and writers are drawn to the valley, which is also home to a mid-summer Arts festival. Individuals seeking a peaceful sanctuary to rejuvenate their soul migrate to the serene waters.

No matter the reasons for visiting, travellers are intrigued by the legends of the Calling Lakes, which are based on First Nations stories and beliefs. It is also the location where the Standing Buffalo Pow Wow takes place.

“There are two ideas about the tale of Calling Lakes, with grey areas to the story of the mythical lakes in the valley,” said Ward. “We encourage people to come and discover the tales firsthand.”

The importance of the water extends beyond the local legends. The Calling Lakes region is home to Saskatchewan’s Fish Culture Station. Rearing approximately 50 million fish a year, it is responsible for re-populating Saskatchewan lakes with a variety of fish species. Tours are available from May to September.

Recreational activities, such as fishing, water sports and

swimming, can be enjoyed at each lake. They are also ideal for family reunions and summer camps.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite people to rediscover the Calling Lakes and area, and what it has to offer,â&#x20AC;? said Ward.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also offer year-round activities with excellent accommodations,â&#x20AC;? said Ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer campgrounds and some cabins.â&#x20AC;? There are also lodges available to accommodate large group gatherings, meetings and retreats.

The lakes are calling.

For more information, visit 4callinglakes.ca.

Winter activities and sports include skiing and snowboarding with professional instructors and safety patrols at Mission Ridge. Curling and skating rinks are available, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many hidden treasures to discover in our local shops, along with restaurants,â&#x20AC;? said Ward.

Such hidden treasures can also be found at the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Valley Centre for the Arts, which has a newly renovated gallery space for artists and crafts people, along with a performance space. Local and First Nations handicrafts are available.

A short distance from the Calling Lakes is a National Historic Site, the Motherwell Homestead. While visiting, patrons step back in time and are immersed in a 1907 agricultural setting with buildings restored to their original appearance.

Employees on the premise dress in clothing from the era, including in the gift shop and restaurant.

Visitors can also experience the Fort Museum, which houses many First Nations artifacts and other items, such as a fully restored player piano. The museum operates from June until Labour Day, welcoming groups and offseason guests.

In addition to the vast array of recreational activities and points of interest, there are golf courses, trade shows, road races, walking and hiking nature trails, and geological tours of the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Valley available throughout the year.

Best Patios in the Queen City

By Mike Shiplack For L-P Specialty Products

T

here’s no better way to celebrate the hot and glorious summers in Regina than with an ice-cold drink on the patio. The celebrations begin once the tables are set, the railings are up and the citronella candles are lit. Each patio has its own unique spirit, be it live music, DJs, sangria or ice-cold pints. Patio time starts early in Regina and is truly a sensation. So where’s a good place to start?

13th Avenue The Cathedral Village Freehouse (2062 Albert Street), thefreehouse.com The Freehouse patio is one of the best places to party. They offer Bushwakker (Regina’s local brew) on tap, and their 10-inch pizzas are baked to perfection in a birch-wood oven. Nine times in the last decade, Prairie Dog Magazine has awarded the Freehouse Regina’s Best Patio. This patio season will feature a slow cooker and live bands and DJs throughout the summer.

Orange Izakaya (2136 Robinson Street), orangeizakaya.com This intimate and interactive patio only holds 20 people so it fills up quickly on Friday and Saturday nights. The drink of choice out on the patio is sake.

Not only does Orange Izakaya specialize in fusion Japanese and Korean cuisine, but they’re also a café. They offer an array of appetizers, tapas and entrées. The signature dish is traditional Korean Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap served hot in a stone bowl.

Table 10 (2118 Robinson Street), table10restaurant.com The Table 10 patio gets plenty of sun and it’s big enough to seat 20 people comfortably. Red and white sangria will be available all summer, with the possibility of a champagne sangria gracing the drink menu. There’s also a full martini list. Try the ribs or the calamari. The menu also strives to be 100 per cent gluten free.

Downtown La Bodega Tapas Bar & Grill (2228 Albert Street), labodegaregina.com When you want a multiple-patio experience in one spot, La Bodega has you covered: Courtyard, closed deck and, of course, the tree house. Despite where you choose to sit, when the sun is out, the white wine sangria is the drink of choice. Choose from a variety of artistically created tapas from the fresh sheet, which changes every two weeks.

Fireside Bistro (2305 Smith Street), firesidebistro.ca This downtown hideaway has a new look this year. The cobblestones have been replaced by composite wood, and a second fireplace was added on the patio. The specialty drink is an ice-cold Hoegaarden served in the traditional huge glass, and this spring will feature new martini flavours.

The party platter offers a bit of everything: ribs, nachos, fresh bruschetta, coconut shrimp, wings and bison spring rolls.

DISCOVER O’Hanlon’s Pub (1947 Scarth Street), facebook.com/#!/groups/ohanlons This is the only patio in the city with a view of Victoria Park. The drink recommended by staff? Guinness, or try any one of the craft beers from O’Hanlon’s own B-Sides Brewery. For food, look no further than a freshly baked Copper Kettle pizza. Live bands perform Tuesdays and Fridays, and there’s a dance party every Saturday night.

Beer Brothers (1821 Scarth Street), beerbros.ca Enjoy lunch, dinner and drinks after work or throughout the day. The patio this year will be bigger and better, increasing by 30 per cent. New this year will be beer-cocktails and a lighter beer inspired menu.

Roof Top Bar and Grill (1845 Victoria Avenue), 306-359-7663 The Roof Top Bar and Grill is officially the highest patio in Regina, and opens as soon as the snow melts. This rooftop patio is equipped with four heat lamps and two fireplaces. The drink and food specials offer a lot of variety throughout the patio season, from ice-cold Coronas and tacos to white wine and calamari. It’s one of the larger patios in the city, with room for up to 100 people.

East Browns Social House (North: 1065 Stockton Street; East 3610 Eastgate Drive), brownsrestaurantgroup.com As enclosed patios, they offer sectional couch seating complete with fireplace. For appetizers, give the dynamite roll a try and follow it up with General Tao’s Chicken.

Creekside Pub & Brewery (3215 East Gate Drive), creeksidebrewpub.com This partially covered patio seats up to 70 people. Enjoy a nice, cool beer from their brewery, such as: Harvest Wheat, Prairie Pilsner, Cattail Red Ale, Strawberry Field, and the Black and Tan. For food, they offer Trifon’s Pizza and a few of their own special creations. The lager chips (deep-fried, thickcut potato chips soaked in beer) are specially seasoned.

South Earls (South: 28th Avenue; East: 1875 Victoria Avenue East), earls.ca Both locations in Regina offer a patio experience. The great thing about Earls is the consistency of great food, friendly staff and a premium selection of drinks.

Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar (3806 Albert Street), originaljoes.ca Their signature drink is the patio Slushy (Malibu rum, pineapple juice and peach juice). Red Tractor Nachos are the most popular menu item because they’re enormous and easy to share. For something a bit lighter, give the lettuce wraps a try.

Willow On Wascana (3000 Wascana Drive), willowonwascana.ca This is the only licensed establishment in Wascana Centre. The patio seats 60-plus people. The menu changes weekly and focuses entirely on a farmto-plate philosophy. Ice-cold cocktails are both traditional and innovative, incorporating Saskatoon berries and sea-buckthorn. This summer’s drink is the Negroni, an Italian favourite made with equal parts gin, Campari and vermouth. Summer sunsets on this patio are considered the crown jewel of the Queen City’s patio scene.

ince 2007, the Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival has celebrated the fact that Canada is a world leader in mustard exports. More importantly, Saskatchewan produces about 75 per cent of the exported seed, which makes Regina the perfect home for the Mustard Festival.

According to Chef Malcolm Craig, owner of Beer Bros and a key member of the organizing committee, last year’s Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival was an overwhelming success.

Over 1,000 people spent the day at the Willow on Wascana, sampling a wide range of delicious mustard-flavoured dishes prepared by some of Saskatchewan’s top chefs. In addition to the great food, the Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival has many other cool activities, including live music and the opportunity to paint with mustard.

While nearly everyone enjoys the taste of mustard on their hamburgers and hot dogs, the Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival shows how to inject the great flavours of mustard in other types of menu items.

While the yearly festival celebrates that there are about 2,700 Saskatchewan producers who grow all three types of mustard — yellow, brown and oriental — it also reminds us that Saskatchewan is home to many talented culinary professionals.

“The Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival highlights some unique recipes produced by very creative Saskatchewan chefs,” said Craig.

After last year’s record-setting crowd sampled the various mustard dishes, they voted for their favourite recipe. At the end of the day, the People’s Choice Award was presented to the Willow on Wascana with their version of a Korean BBQ Pork Belly Slider with wasabi-mustard aioli, spicy pickled cucumber and fresh cilantro.

Plans for the 2013 family-friendly Great Saskatchewan Mustard Festival are underway, and the committee will be spreading the word on this year’s tasty celebration, which will be held at the Willow in Wascana in September. For more information, visit saskmustard.ca.

The art of pottery in Regina

By Miranda Burski L-P Specialty Products

T

here are many wonderful displays of art to check out in Regina. But if pottery’s the type of art you’re looking for, then you must be sure to visit the work of some of the area’s most well-known pottery and ceramic artists.

Left: Plate by Monica DeCampo.

Zaharik works with coloured clay he mixes himself, while Goertzky works with glazes that bring to mind the prairie sky. Regardless of their methods, all of the artists are masters of their craft.

But perhaps two of Regina’s best-known ceramic artists are Jack Sures and Donovan Chester.

Regina is home to several pottery and ceramic artists, including Bernie Zaharik, Cara Driscoll, Jennifer Mapplebeck, Kate Mckinley, Fran Zerr and Anne McLellan. By taking just a short drive out of the city, you can find artists such as Claude Morin (Moose Jaw), Wendy Parsons and Zach Dietrich (Moose Jaw), Realynne Mills (Wilcox), Jeffery Taylor (Duval), Monica DeCampo (Moose Jaw), and Barb Goertzky (Lumsden).

Sures is known both for his local and international work.

One of his biggest accomplishments in Regina was helping to establish the ceramics and printmaking department at the University of Saskatchewan’s Regina Campus (later the University of Regina) in 1965. “He started the ceramics program in Regina and went on to teach for over 30 years,” said Marnie Archer, owner of Traditions Hand Craft Gallery. “He also built the first gas-fired studio kilns in Saskatchewan.”

Each of these artists has their own unique style when it comes to their pottery or ceramic work. For example,

Internationally, Sures is known for his work in Grenada.

There, he worked as part of the United Nations Handcraft

Development Program to set up a ceramics program, during which time he developed a kiln that uses nutmeg shells as fuel.

While Sures’ specialty is ceramics, his work is distinguishable by the painted work incorporated into it. “His Masters in Fine Arts focused on painting and print-making, with only one ceramics course. He pursued his love of ceramics after he went to university by working in pottery studios in London, England, and travelling throughout Europe visiting museums and galleries,” explained Archer. “That is why, when you look at his pieces, there is a lot of pattern, texture and painting on them, because that is his formal background.”

Chester, too, has made a name for himself in part because of his time educating others in the art of pottery — he was an instructor and studio head for the University of Regina’s Extension Department for 12 years. But what really sets him apart is his work with raku, a method of pottery

involving hand-moulded clay, low firing temperatures and the removal of pieces from the kiln while they are still hot.

Chester is one of few local artists in Saskatchewan utilizing this method.

“Chester’s raku pieces are not functional; they are purely decorative, and they are like nothing else. Each has its own beautiful kind of shine not often duplicated, and he is also known to make all of his own moulds,” said Archer.

If you’re interested in viewing or purchasing the works of any of these artists, visit Traditions Hand Craft Gallery traditionshandcraftgallery.ca.

Leasa Gibbons, manager of marketing and communications with Regina Downtown, said “Salsa on the Plaza is a super fun and engaging way to spend a hot summer evening in Regina. The instruction given early in the evening helps everyone get in the dancing mood and things really get going as the night goes on.”

“The only difficult part of the evening is convincing the crowd that it’s time to wrap things up,” said Gibbons.

Participants range in age from high-school students to seniors; salsa dancing is a unique venue for many

or anyone wanting a first-hand look — and taste — of the country, Canada’s Farm Progress Show (CFPS) offers a wealth of sensory delights for city and country folk alike.

Many of us are at least a generation away from the farm, so a visit to a show like the CFPS — scheduled to run June 19 to 21 this year — is a welcome respite from the cares of the city. Show manager Rob O’Connor said it’s important to keep in touch with our roots, literally in this case! “Agriculture is still Canada’s largest economic driver.

Food production and food service employs nearly one in four people in Canada. As the world population increases and its calorie intake increases, farmers from around the world will need to grow and deliver 70 per cent more food

Speaking of food, visitors to the CFPS can taste the end product of Saskatchewan agriculture at booths featuring locally grown and produced treats like pulled pork and beef on a bun. In addition to the food booths and the numerous exhibits of world-class agriculture equipment, there are many things to see and do at the event. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an antique tractor pull, lumberjack show and concerts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured performers will be Foxx Worthee. Of particular interest to city dwellers is the lifestyles pavilion, where people can see products designed for the home and yard. Up-to-date styles and brands are exhibited by about 100 companies. There are also educational seminars where people can learn more about the technology and farming practices that lead the way to successful farming.

Now in its 36th year, CFPS is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest dry land technology trade show, drawing as many as 45,000 visitors from around the world each year. For more information, visit myfarmshow.com and then head down to Evraz Place June 19 to 21 for the best show in the land.

Connecting to the Land

A

s with the majority of the world, the province of Saskatchewan has undergone a significant urbanization in the past 60 years. Despite the population shift from living on the land to living in metropolitan centres, people in Saskatchewan remain deeply connected to the land that surrounds them and the agricultural roots.

This connection to the land shapes the character of its people — they are community minded, grounded and incredibly friendly. You can hear the connection if you listen to the music found in the wind. You can smell this connection in the air as the seasons shift in temperature, and the land cycles from seeding to harvest. You can see the connection by gazing at the seemingly endless and ever-changing sky. Feeling this connection is the ultimate way to experience Regina.

“There is a huge movement of understanding where your food comes from, so staying connected to the land could be as simple as supporting our local farmers and educating our children with agriculture tours,” explained Alison Fraser, travel media and trade consultant for Tourism Regina.

An absolute must to connect with the land is venturing to the Regina Farmers’ Market. Since 1975, the Farmers’ Market has been the gathering place for a special rural and urban exchange, and a place to experience community.

Take your time to roam amongst the local vendors, let the locally grown produce overwhelm your senses, fall in love with the wares of a local artisan, and delight your palate with locally made culinary treats including chocolate, honey and even fruit wine!

The Regina Farmer’s Market is held downtown on the City Plaza behind Victoria Park from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Another way to connect with the land is only minutes away from the downtown core of Regina. The beautiful Qu’Appelle Valley lies only a few miles north of Regina

Team-tracker: A hide-and-seek experience you won’t forget continued from Page 35 it’s basically a game of hide-and-seek treasure hunt while being pursued on horseback. You’re the mouse and the Tracker is the cat. You’re on foot — the Tracker is on horseback. Your team, divided into smaller groups, will be given a map that will lead you to treasures on the route that you must find before being “tracked.”

If caught, you forfeit your coloured armband but stick with your team to help them to the end. With 90 minutes to finish the course, your team will be given a head-start and you will begin the process of searching for hidden treasures. Videotaping the exercise is an added bonus that allows your team to have a few laughs about your adventure or perhaps assess your ability to work well under pressure.

There are three ways to enjoy the Team-tracker challenge. You can partake just for fun or as a team-building-exercise. Or, if you’re really up for a test, try “the Real McCoy” and find out what you’re really made of. It’s the perfect challenge for the outdoor fitness enthusiast looking for the opportunity to pit speed, fitness and agility against the experienced Tracker, who seeks to track you before you find victory. Most people that come to the ranch leave having learned a little bit more about themselves and how they interact with others. “But mostly people just have a really great time,” said Brenda.

Beaver Creek Ranch and Horse Centre is a hidden gem in the Regina region. It offers the Team-tracker challenge and many other ways to enjoy the land, such as the Cowboy Cookout — perfect for a large group looking for fresh air and fabulous food around a campfire. Hay and sleigh rides are also offered, as is equine training.

Last October, chef Milton Rebello of the Hotel Saskatchewan Radisson Plaza won the gold medal at the first Regina Gold Medal Plates event. This challenge, which is held annually in 10 cities across Canada, is considered the ultimate celebration of Canadian Excellence in cuisine, wine, the arts and athletic achievement. Winning gold allowed Rebello to advance to the Canadian Culinary Championships in Kelowna, where his signature lamb dish won the bronze medal.

This was the first time a Saskatchewan chef has been on the championship podium. Quite an achievement for a first-time competitor.

“I am very fortunate to come through as the best chef in the city,” said Rebello, who has been the head chef at the Hotel Saskatchewan for three years. “It was an honour for me and it means a lot to my family.”

Rebello was quick to credit his team at the Hotel Saskatchewan for his success.

“My team and I worked very hard to make the dish the best it could be,” said Rebello.

“I am very happy we were rewarded for our efforts.”
