engineer or designer. The design plans act as a starting point to
complete other required design aspects such as choosing a location for the building on a lot,
planning parking areas and walkways, planning site services, as well as obtaining a foundation

Regina History & Facts
ders and settlers translated this to Pile of Bones. European settlement began in the 1880s as an
agricultural community and served as a distribution point for farm
materials and produce. As the settlement grew and became established, it was renamed Regina (latin
for “queen”) after Queen Victoria, who was the British monarch at the time. Regina became a city in
1903. Two years later, Saskatchewan became a province and chose Regina as its capital. Today, this
diverse and vibrant community is one of Canada’s fastest growing major cities. Video Transcript
Audio Visual Narrator: Hi, there! Today, we’re going to do about 135 years of Regina history in

dock in the foreground. Taken in about 1912. Before there was a permanent settlement here, Regina
was known as “oskana kâ-asastêki,”or “the place where the bones are piled”. By 1882, First Nations
people had been pushed onto reserves, and non-Indigenous hunters had greatly depleted the
once-mighty buffalo herds through mass hunts. The bone piles were an effort by Indigenous peoples
to honour the animals’ spirits. The land where Regina now sits is part of the Treaty 4 area, which
was established in 1874. Prior to the treaty’s signing, Aboriginal people had followed the buffalo
through the area. Regina’s lack of reliable water, shelter or trees made it a poor spot for a
permanent settlement. Photograph of three bison grazing in King’s Park in about 1970. But in 1882,
settlers did just that. Why? Because Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney selected the railroad’s path
and placed the North West Territories’ new capital near land he owned. Photograph in 1882 of
Lieutenant-Governor Dewdney’s order reserving land to form the town of Regina. The decision was
very controversial. ...
