Between Saskatoon and Regina yeah, but I think some of the other smaller towns in the province have some older stuff.
I just decided to do a quick google search and came up with this:

RESTORING SASKATCHEWAN'S OLDEST BUILDING
Centenary Funding will help restore Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Stanley Mission.
"This church was constructed between 1854 and 1860 and is the oldest building left standing in Saskatchewan," Environment and Resource Management Minister Buckley Belanger said. "We are pleased that through this restoration, we can ensure this historic legacy will be around for all of us to enjoy for many years."
Restoration work will include installing two new aluminum crosses, repairing and painting the exterior woodwork, applying preservative to wood shingles, repairing or replacing stairs from dock to church entrance and repairing door latches.
Holy Trinity Anglican Church currently provides religious services to the Anglican congregation at Stanley Mission. It has also been designated a Provincial Heritage Property and a National Historic Site.
The money for these projects comes from the province's four-year, $120 million Centenary Fund. Total cost of this project, which is expected to be completed by the spring of 2001, is $80,000.
This funding supplements current provincial parks infrastructure spending of $2.5 million per year. The Centenary Fund was developed so important capital projects can be completed as Saskatchewan approaches its centennial in 2005.

Not a bad looking building really. And yes, it's not Regina, but still very interesting to see how Regina's oldest standing building compares to Saskatchewan's. The RCMP Chapel looks like a slightly less grand version of this one. Same basic design concept, just smaller.
