Regina

Regina (2014 pop: 210,000 (city) 232,090 (metro)) is the major commercial centre of southern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is the provincial capital and was previously the territorial headquarters of the North-West Territories, of which today's provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta originally formed part. Regina was also the district headquarters of the District of Assiniboia. Regina was named in 1882 after Queen Victoria, i.e. Victoria Regina, by her daughter Princess Louise, wife of the then-Governor General the Marquess of Lorne. Regina's elevation is 577 metres (1,893 ft) above mean sea level.

Regina is a cultural and commercial metropole for both southern Saskatchewan and adjacent areas in the neighbouring American states of North Dakota and Montana. It attracts numerous visitors for the vitality of its commerce, theatre, concerts and restaurants and to its annual Buffalo Days summer fair. It is governed by Regina City Council. Regina is the Cathedral see city of the Roman Catholic and Romanian Orthodox Dioceses of Regina and the Anglican Diocese of Qu'Appelle. Citizens of Regina are referred to as Reginans.

  • Former Roxy Theatre, nielkfj (guest) wrote 6 years ago:
    If my memory serves me correctly I saw Star Wars at the Roxy Theatre just before it burned down. I also recalled that it was a chicken place connected to the theatre that had a grease fire, burning both establishments down. Very vague memories as I was only seven years old at the time. For some reason I remembered the chicken place as being a take-out joint right in front of the theatre. It might have been a take-out joint, but after finding some photos on the internet, I don't think it was in front of the theatre, but rather just north of the theatre. Thanks for your comment!
