your Submission City Council has recently approved an Indigenous Procurement Policy.
Effective immediately, this policy puts tools in place to foster greater success for Indigenous-led
business growth and development within Regina and area. The policy outlines a minimum goal of 20
per cent Indigenous procurement. This goal is a step along our journey toward economic
reconciliation. The policy was developed in collaboration with the Indigenous Procurement Advisory
Committee (IPAC) who will continue to meet to provide guidance and support in the implementation of
the policy to its fullest. Learn more about the Indigenous Procurement Policy. Indigenous
Procurement Policy Learn more about contractor payment methods, including how to submit invoices
and receive payment. What do I need to provide on my invoice to get paid? Indicate the following
information on your invoice: Supplier name and remittance address Invoice number Invoice amount
Purchase Order or Blanket Order and Release number (if applicable) GST/PST registration number (if
applicable) Submit individual invoices for payment. The City does not pay from supplier statements.
Why hasn't my invoice been paid? The most common reason that an invoice has not been paid is
because Accounts Payable has not received the invoice. Send invoices by email to
payables@regina.ca. What are the City's payment terms? Payment terms are typically a part of the
terms and conditions of each contract. While payment terms may vary depending on the contract, the
City's standard payment term is net 30 days from date of invoice. I lost my cheque, how do I get it
replaced? If a cheque is lost or stolen, report it to payables@regina.ca. ...
Finding Middle Ground Design Competition
red questions or is this only shared amongst those who asked the questions? The questions submitted
and the answers will be posted on our competition website and an
email will be sent to all registrants notifying them that they have been posted. When the dwelling
allowable units' states for example: Min 4. Max 8 - does this mean one development but separate
attached units? Like a 4 plex development for instance? Like a Multi-Unit Development/Townhouses?
All units on the lot must be fully attached. When there are multiple residential buildings on a lot
it is considered a Planned Group, which is a Discretionary Use in most applicable circumstances. Is
there any specific zoning bylaw to determine if the units are feasible to be detached or if
attached is a requirement to meet the density/coverage limits. All applicable zoning regulations
can be found in the Zoning Bylaw. Please clarify the submission package formatting. In the
landscaping plan inclusions, does “elevations (for all cardinal directions)” mean that we are to
have all 4 exterior elevations of the units on the drawing itself? We are asking for 4 exterior
elevations (one for each compass direction) to be included in the submission set. Placement within
the submitted documents and the scale of each elevation is at the discretion of the submitter. Does
the landscape plan need to be a separate document/ drawing sheet? It is up to the participant
whether the landscaping plan is separate or combined with other drawings such as a floor plan. Does
the building mass drawing need to include the footprint of the building in plan view on the
landscape drawing showing the building footprint, overall size and placement? Typically, the
massing drawings would be in an isometric view. Including other elements in the massing drawings is
up to the submitter. Round 2 Will schemes be docked points for not
providing onsite parking (i.e. what metrics will be used when scoring schemes that do and do not
provide onsite parking)? While our zoning bylaw has moved away from parking minimums to suggested
parking ratios, the #1 objection from residents the city receives towards missing middle housing
and intensification relates to inadequate parking. Design concepts that can accommodate a 1:1
parking ratio (1 parking space per unit) on the site will score higher. If a strong rationale is
presented for providing less than the suggested ratio, it may be weighed more favourably during the
review process. For this competition, will two or more residential buildings (i.e. accessory
dwelling units, multi-duplexes, etc.) be allowed on each lot? If not, it appears that this may
significantly limit the development opportunities of each site. In an effort to explore all
potential options for each site, we have revised our position stated in question 9 from the
first-round responses and are now accepting proposals for multiple buildings on each lot. Is there
a preferred approach for collecting garbage? Regina utilizes three bins for the home collection
service. Blue bins are for recycling; Brown bins are for waste, and green bins are for compost. On
lots with an alley, pickup is in the alley. On lots with no lane access, the bins are rolled onto
the street for pickup on the designated day. Consideration should be given to accommodating the
three bins on site. Is a basement allowed? Yes, full-height concrete basements are very common in
Regina. We encourage participants to explore the potential of these spaces. Is it possible to
incorporate social activity spaces for the residents, for example, designing the roof as a social
gathering space used by the residents according to a schedule or for small rent fees? Yes, we
encourage the exploration of such ideas. Is it an accepted approach to design all the units or part
of them to be duplexes with more than one floor level with an internal stair? If your proposal
meets the requirements of the National Building Code, you are welcome to explore all options. In
the height limit indicated in the competition brief, does it indicate the height to the roof slab?
Or to the parapet? Or to the roof staircase room? Please refer to the definition of “height” in our
current zoning bylaw (see link on the design competition web page) in Chapter 2, page 18 and figure
2B.F10. Is solar orientation important for this competition? Since we have not specified any
cardinal directions in the lot diagrams, solar orientation is not a critical factor in the
competition. What is NEC 2025 - Level 2? ...

Permanent Emergency Shelter
What specific services and support will the new shelter provide to residents facing houselessness?
The enhanced shelter plays a key role as an entry point into the
housing continuum, providing emergency housing and support services intended to transition
residents into more stable forms of housing. RT/SIS aims first and foremost to stabilize clients
and connect them with ongoing community support services. The programming meets individuals where
they are by creating a low barrier, safe and welcoming environment that supports clients with a
coordinated, wrap-around approach. Additional services provided by RT/SIS include general
practitioners, addictions programming (i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Crystal
Meth Anonymous), one-on-one counselling sessions including referrals to detox centers and treatment
facilities and referrals to mental health therapists. In addition, RT/SIS makes referrals to other
community-based support agencies such as Mental Health Services, Overdose Prevention, COAST,
Coordinated Access Regina, Salvation Army, YWCA Regina, Regina Street Team, Ministry of Social
Services and Mobile Crisis Services Regina. What are the long-term operational costs to the City
for the shelter once it is up and running, and how will they be managed? The estimated operating
costs for utilities, maintenance, security, cleaning and insurance for the shelter are $30,000 per
month. These costs are funded through existing budgets. How will the success of the shelter be
measured and reported to the public? As operator and service provider for the shelter, RT/SIS
monitors data as it relates to community impact and overall success of the space. RT/SIS reports
directly to the Province of Saskatchewan. The Community Well-being branch of the City of Regina
will report back to Council in 2026. How will the City address concerns from neighbouring
businesses and residents about the shelter? A Good Neighbour Plan was created through a highly
collaborative approach that the City led alongside RT/SIS, Fire and Protective Services, Regina
Police Service, Saskatchewan Health Authority, the Regina Street Team and neighbouring businesses.
The Good Neighbour Plan includes processes and resources for handling concerns. The City is
committed to information sharing with stakeholders as the project progresses. Is there a screening
process for checking into the shelter? Upon entering the shelter, individuals must go through a
screening process. During this time, they are required to surrender any prohibited items to
security. Once the screening is complete, a transitional worker will assist residents with
registration and placement into their designated area. Once residents leave the facility, all
personal assets are returned to the resident. Is there any reason a person wouldn’t be allowed to
stay in the shelter? If an individual is unable to stay at the shelter for any reason, RT/SIS staff
will coordinate with other shelters in Regina to help find a suitable placement. Will there be
security? ...
