Why does this site exist?
The simple version: I’ve lived in Regina, Saskatchewan my entire life and in South Regina since around 1992. Most of my friends growing up have left the city, since “there’s nothing going on in Regina.” That’s hogwash! Whether you’re 8 or 88, there are more things to do in this lovely city than hours in the day. What’s missing is a place to learn what’s going on.
The complex version: More to come over time. Suffice to say I hope we can share all the good things that our going on in town. I hope we can discuss the unpleasant things that go on in town as well, with an eye to working through issues. I think the term for this is ‘Building Community’, but I’m not very precise with the Big Terms.
Why “Southwest Regina”?
It’s where I live! Honestly, the title may change. I wanted to be more precise (Normandy Heights neighbourhood in Lakeview) but the centre of Regina is such a compact place that we can walk or bike to events in other neighbourhoods. “All of Regina” is too big for one person to cover, so for now, Southwest Regina it is…
Stop by and chat!
I hope you’ll subscribe to this blog and comment lots as well. I promise to keep you posted about what’s going on in the community. I hope you’ll use the comments section to share information and ideas and tell me about what’s happening on your street.
