Discover Regina
Outdoor beauty meets modern metropolis. Regina, Saskatchewan — known as the Queen City — is Saskatchewan's incredibly friendly capital city.
What's the weather in Regina like? You'd be surprised — it's one of Canada’s sunniest cities. It can get cold, but the winters are gorgeous. We’re located in Wascana Centre, one of the largest urban parks in North America. Plus, if you live on U of R's campus, most of our buildings are connected. You could go all winter wearing shorts, a t-shirt and flip flops if you want. We won't judge!
