Join us at Light the Lights, a long-time annual winter tradition hosted by City Council. This year, the event is held on Tuesday, December 2 at 6 p.m. in front of City Hall.
Celebrate the upcoming holiday season with Mayor and Council by lighting up City Hall and the Queen Elizabeth II Courtyard trees. This free family-friendly event celebrates Regina as a Winter City. Come out and enjoy seasonal festivities such as free hot chocolate, local entertainment, outdoor games, interactive ice creations, horse-drawn wagon rides, a virtual colouring contest and a visit with Santa.
Enter Our Virtual Colouring Contest
Children ages 12 and under are invited to participate in our virtual colouring contest in the spirit of the winter season.
This year’s colouring page was created by Regina-based Métis artist, Phyllis Poitras-Jarrett. Phyllis’ art celebrates traditional Indigenous worldview and harmony with all sources of life. Animals, plants, insects, land, water, and air hold equal value on earth. Phyllis writes, “We must be mindful of our daily footprints by respecting and caring for Mother Earth… In my art the Spirit animals symbolize the qualities and values that every person has within themselves. Embracing these values will create conditions for our lights to shine bright on our life journeys.”
Phyllis’ print of the caribou, titled, “Hope & Faith”, highlights the importance of connections amongst all of us. Phyllis reminds us, “We know our connections help each other to live full lives ensuring happiness on our life journeys… We are not all the same, but we know sharing our unique stories is important.”
