Indigenous Artist in Residence
residency, Poitras-Jarrett will create a triptych of floral beadwork-textured paintings on canvas,
based on plants and animals observed during daily walks. The artwork
will include one 40" x 36" canvas and two 16" x 36" canvases. She will also create a short seasonal
video compilation connected to the work. Torrie Ironstar Torrie Ironstar is a Deaf Nakoda artist
from Regina. Their practice is shaped by Deaf experience and ways of engaging through sight, body
and intuition. Their work blends Indigenous worldviews with beadwork-inspired geometry, bold
colour, geometric abstraction and spiritual elements. Ironstar’s work explores identity,
resilience, Indigenous futures and collective memory. Their Two-Spirit identity also informs their
exploration of balance, fluidity and visibility for Deaf, Indigenous and Two-Spirit communities.
For the residency, Ironstar will create a new body of three to four paintings. The paintings will
explore belonging, kinship and continuity through visual language. 2026 Public Workshops The

in Residence Jessie Ray Short is an artist, filmmaker and independent curator of Métis, Ukrainian
and German descent and a citizen of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan. During her residency, Jessie
explored themes of Indigenous futurism through a series of public-facing activities, including a
Power Glove Crafting workshop, open studios, an artist talk and a table read of a short film script
presented alongside two Rugaru maquettes, referencing the Rugaru, a shapeshifting wolf figure from
Métis traditional stories. Her final body of work focused on the Rugaru, inspired by a recurring
childhood dream. Jessie Ray Short’s practice explores connections within the histories of Michif
communities across the Prairies. Her work engages with ideas of space and time, Indigenous and
settler histories, Michif visual culture, personal narrative and spiritual and scientific belief
systems, as well as concepts such as parallel universes, electricity and non-human beings. She
works across film and video, performance, installation, finger weaving, sewing and writing. Jessie
Ray Short is based in Regina, Saskatchewan, Treaty 4 Territory, located between the Michif
communities of Willow Bunch and Park Valley, where her ancestors lived. 2024 Indigenous Artist in
Residence Bee Bird, a rising multidisciplinary artist from the Montreal Lake Cree Nation, has
completed his term as the City of Regina’s 2024 Indigenous Artist in Residence. During his
residency, Bee Bird explored the theme of “Urban Indigeneity”. He hosted public engagement sessions
focusing on collaborative community projects and a series of artist talks to highlight Indigenous
artists living and working in Regina. His work included poetry videos that draw from his
experiences as a journalist, multimedia artist and his cultural heritage. The City issued an open
call for the Indigenous Artist in Residence in April 2024. An expert panel of Indigenous art
professionals reviewed several applications from local artists who submitted proposals. The
residency supports an Indigenous artist (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit) in a part-time capacity,

facilitate community engagement, and create works of art for the City's Civic Art Collection. The
Indigenous Artist in Residence Program celebrates and amplifies Indigenous voices, enhancing the
artistic and cultural presence in our community. 2023 Indigenous Artist in Residence Larissa

Crosswalks
nd various pedestrian destinations. Touchless Accessible Pedestrian Signals Many signalized
intersections have a button you may push to activate the WALK/DON’TWALK pedestrian signal. If the button is pushed, the WALK signal could stay on longer to allow you the extra time to cross the
street. If the button is not pushed, more ‘green’ time could be given to motorists. This allows
more traffic to travel through the intersection and reduces congestion. If you are at a signalized
intersection with a pedestrian push button, you must use it or you will not get a WALK signal allowing you to cross. For some intersections that have heavy
pedestrian volume, pedestrian phase could be provided every phase during off peak hours.
Understanding Pedestrian Signals Pedestrian signals tell you when it is safe to cross: A "WALK" or “WALKING SYMBOL” means you may
begin crossing. A flashing "DON'T WALK" or flashing “HAND SYMBOL”
serves as a warning that it is to late to begin to cross the street. However, if you entered the
cross walk before the signal began to flash, you should have enough
time to cross the street. A solid "DON'T WALK" or solid ‘HAND SYMBOL”
indicates that it is unsafe to cross the street. You should wait until the WALK signal appears again before crossing the street. Pedestrian Push Buttons at
