Amur Maple is an incredibly colourful tree. As summer turns to fall, its bright green leaves turn fiery red. This tree is perfectly suited for urban environments. Its small size allows you to plant it in city yards and beneath power lines. Amur maple can also tolerate urban pollution, moist to dry conditions and is not affected by soil type or pH. Toka Plum/Prunus domestica ‘Toka’ Tree Donation Program To support our Urban Forest, The Forestry Bylaw was amended to allow residents to plant trees on City property. Please view the documents below to learn more about planting trees on City property. Planting trees on City property is subject to the application process and by approval of the City. Please email a completed application to PRCSAdmin@regina.ca. The applicant will be contacted with the final decision on the request. Tree Donation Application Tree Donation Program Policy Tree Planting Standards Recommended Tree Species Planting Specifications Tree Banding Tree banding keeps fall and spring cankerworms from laying their eggs in the crown of the tree. Band your elms, Manitoba maples and fruit trees each spring and fall to reduce the amount of cankerworms. To band your tree: Purchase fibreglass insulation (15 to 20 cm wide), plastic wrap or black garbage bags, duct tape and some type of sticky substance (axle grease, Tanglefoot, Stick-em) Wrap a strip of fibreglass insulation around the trunk about 1 to 2 metres above the ground. Cover the insulation with plastic and secure with duct tape. Cover the plastic with your sticking agent. Regularly re-apply your sticking agent and remove debris to ensure effectiveness. Band your trees in September and re-apply sticking agent in the Spring. Remove your band after mid-May. Save the insulation for the next banding season. Pruning Your Trees Trees, when mature, should have a strong straight trunk and a full crown with well-spaced branches. Pruning helps achieve this growth pattern. Pruning depends on the age of your tree: Newly planted tree: Only prune dead or broken branches since the tree needs all of its branches and leaves to grow in its new location. Year 2: Prune branches to develop a strong central leader. If present, prune and remove co-dominant leader. Years 3-4: Begin regular pruning. Years 5-7: By this time, your tree should be healthy and shaped properly from previous pruning. To stay healthy, regularly remove dead or damaged limbs. Keep the tree’s outline tidy by pruning back long branches. ...

ed shape the Urban Forest Management Plan and recognizes Indigenous relationships with the land as part of the City’s work towards reconciliation and environmental stewardship. The selected “Tree of Life” design will be featured in the updated Urban Forest Management Plan and related City communications that help residents understand Regina’s urban forest. Submissions will be reviewed by the Urban Forest Management Plan project team, which includes Elders, Knowledge Keepers and City staff. Designs will be evaluated on how well they reflect the “Tree of Life” theme, express Indigenous identity and creativity, connection to the natural environment, life and community and are suitable for use across print and digital formats. For more information, visit Regina.ca/TreeOfLife. Parks Master Plan Following the Plan’s initial engagement efforts, the City recognized that ongoing engagement with the Indigenous community as well as amplifying their voices by the outcomes of the Plan would be essential to meaningfully move towards reconciliation. To undertake this more in-depth engagement, work on the overall plan was paused and the consultant team was expanded to include Wicehtowak Limnos Consulting Services LP (WLCS), who are local to Treaty 4 Territory. WLCS worked closely with staff and led further engagements with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Pipe Carriers, Administrators and community members throughout Treaty 4 territory. The outcomes of this work are directly linked to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Principles of Reconciliation and Calls to Action to create an equitable and inclusive community. To effectively implement these recommendations, the Plan includes a well-structured strategy outlining time frames, resource requirements, responsibilities, potential support mechanisms and entities to inform. Ultimately, this Parks Master Plan will yield a more sustainable, easy to maintain and safer parks system, benefiting both residents and visitors to Regina.

The Legacy of Treaty 4: A Tribute to MMIWG2S+ Project is a grassroots, community-led initiative inspired by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG2S+). The purpose of the project is to create a permanent, land-based commemorative space in Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park. The space will include a firepit, Grandfather Rocks and artwork related to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and two-spirited. As Regina marks the 151st anniversary of the Treaty 4 signing, the project acknowledges the systemic racism that Indigenous women endure because of this treaty. This space will feature designs by Indigenous artist Brianna LaPlante, created with the guidance of Elders, an Indigenous Design Panel, Reconciliation Regina and a City of Regina project team. Who is involved? This is a First Nation and Métis community-led project facilitated by Indigenous community leadership. The Elders guiding this project are Sherry Cochrane, Rita Goodwill, Wayne Goodwill, Dianne Kaiswatum, Roland Kaye, Donna Okeeweehow, Joan Pelltier, Lillian Piapot, Jim Pratt, Faye Sioux John and Gwenda Yuzicappi. The Indigenous Design Panel includes David Garneau, Felicia Gay, Jason Surkan and Tracy Desjarlais. The Indigenous Design Panel are experts in public art, activism, architecture and placemaking. Reconciliation Regina is a First Nation and Métis led non-profit organization whose vision for reconciliation in Saskatchewan is that each citizen takes responsibility to create an interdependent and fair society. The File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council Life Speakers consists of prominent community Elders, Knowledge Keepers and past tribal political figures. Guiding Themes Following a trauma-informed community consultation in 2019, three guiding themes were identified by the Elders to inform the project vision: Commemorate: Honor the lives of MMIWG2S+ individuals, strengthen family and community memory and create a place where Indigenous peoples can share messages of remembering, honoring, resilience and hope for future generations. This theme emphasizes the importance of memory and recognition in the healing process. Educate: Serve as an educational tool that shares truths and knowledge with a broader community audience. By educating the public about the historical and ongoing injustices faced by MMIWG2S+ people, the project hopes to foster greater understanding and empathy, and to challenge the systemic issues that perpetuate violence and discrimination. Activate: Bear witness to injustice, provoke discussions, inspire action and provide a platform for voices that may not have the opportunity to share their stories elsewhere. This theme focuses on the need for active engagement and advocacy to address and rectify the injustices faced by MMIWG2S+ people. What is next for the project? In 2025, the Indigenous Design Panel worked extensively to create a concept design that honoured the community vision and themes.  The design process commenced on January 9, 2025 with a pipe ceremony and feast to kick off the design work in a good way.  In September 2025, the project secured the resources needed to bring the project vision to life, developed a concept design and released a public Call for Design, inviting Indigenous artistic contributions. In November 2025, the Indigenous Design Panel and artist Brianna LaPlante presented a detailed design to the Elders for their review and final updates. The project team is preparing to release a construction RFP to the market in January 2026. A site blessing is currently being planned for spring 2026 with the site’s construction to follow in summer 2026. Ceremony Site In 2024, City Council dedicated lands near the Murray Golf Course as an Indigenous Ceremony site. This site will provide a dedicated space to help facilitate reclamation of culture and identity by Indigenous people. The City of Regina acknowledges the past harms perpetrated against Indigenous peoples and the continued effects. This site will provide access to culturally responsive opportunities to help the community heal from these negative historic events. ...
