With the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District (RDBID), a new interim ‘Skuare’ will be located on the former historic Gordon Block and Burns Hanley sites (2160 12th Avenue).

“The Skuare will be the first of it’s kind in Saskatchewan,” RDBID said in a release. “This 11,000SF site will host a beer garden, additional retail and food/beverage units, space for food trucks, activation and performance space, washrooms, and ancillary storage for Regina Downtown’s Clean Team.”

Judith Veresuk, Executive Director for RDBID said shipping containers will be used for some of the units.

Sounds like an awesome new place for Regina. There's been pretty good success with a couple pop-up style beer gardens in downtown Winnipeg.

Regina introduces new Alternative Response Officers force
The Alternative Response Officers started patrolling downtown Regina this week.

During her media scrum, Davies also hinted at the AROs becoming a larger-scale police force in the near future. “I think we'll see how it goes. Obviously, we know with more presence, we think that there'll be a bigger impact. There are many metrics that we're going to be capturing over the course of this year into early next year, and there'll be lots of lessons that we can learn from that data that we're collecting in terms, of you know, what is the most common call for service they're going to how much are they spending their time.”

Recently, the province announced $3 million in funding going towards adding 32 new front-line officers to the RPS.

As Regina continues to grow, Davies said there needs to be more police officers to respond to community needs.

NDP questions Moe making school change rooms a priority
Nicole Sarauer says NDP will suspend gas tax on day one; blasts Moe’s focus on school change room
Sarauer, running for re-election in Regina Douglas Park, contrasted that priority to Moe’s pledge on Thursday at the Regina Wascana Plains campaign office. Moe told reporters the first order of business of his re-elected government would do was to issue a directive to ban biological males from female change rooms in schools. This was in response to an incident at a school that came to light this week involving biological boys in a change room with biological girls, he said.

The Sask party is out of touch with reality. This is their main focus the agenda where is their platform? They have none. They’re nothing more than maga Republicans

Feds dealing directly with Saskatoon, Regina on homelessness

The federal government said it will bypass the Government of Saskatchewan and go straight to the two biggest cities in the province when it comes to doling out money to deal with people experiencing homelessness and living in encampments.

In a statement posted online on Tuesday, federal Housing Minister Sean Fraser said he sent a letter to each province and territory on September 18, asking them to work with the federal government to “find shelter for those experiencing homelessness or living in encampments.”

He said the letter offered millions of dollars in exchange for working together and matching the federal contributions. Fraser said the money on offer was $250 million, which was announced in the spring

City of Regina taking over Holy Rosary Park to maintain as community green space
The city will purchase the land parcel for $1 plus closing costs and add Holy Rosary to its park inventory.

The park includes green space on the southwest corner of the block but not the playground in front of the former school that faces 14th Avenue.

RCSD struck a deal earlier this year to sell Holy Rosary School to the Archdiocese of Regina for $1.95 million. The property housing the school, division offices, parking lot and adjacent right-of-way is included in the sale.
This is a good situation
