Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan, is a city that was built to shelter its
residents from the sometimes harsh and bleak environment. In its early days,
the city fathers built a dam across Wascana Creek creating the Wascana Centre
parkland around which many of Regina's features are built, including the
Legislature, an Arts Centre, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, and the Science
Centre. The early residents also planted lots of trees to provide green shade in
summer, to create a literal oasis on the yellow-coloured wheat-growing prairie
landscape of southern Saskatchewan.
Regina has become one of Canada´s most modern cities, with stunning downtown
architecture and great access to parks and recreation. The city's low costs are
attracting some large businesses to the city, which is also known for its short
commutes (even the airport is 5 kilometres from downtown). The city is known for
its casual business environment, built on the neighbourlines of the community.
