Sherman Park, Imperial Park and Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park. The panels allow nonverbal individuals or
people experiencing disabilities to share their needs or wants while using the park amenities. The
communication panels use the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which helps learners of
all ages who have various cognitive, physical, and communication disabilities. The panels were
created in partnership with the faculty at St. Maria Faustina School and the Regina Speech Centre.
Each sign has two sides, one has general words and phrases, and the other has high-use words and
images corresponding with the activities and features of the playground and surrounding area. The
panels are placed low to the ground, within arms-reach of as many people as possible, so they can
be clearly pointed at or touched.

Accessible Transit
Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), inform pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired when
they have the right-of-way to cross at a signalized intersection. Accessible Pedestrian Signals use
two audible tones with the visual pedestrian signals to designate the direction of the pedestrian
right-of-way. For the north/south right-of-way, the ‘cuckoo’ audible tone is sounded, and for the
east/west right-of-way, the ‘chirp’ audible tone is sounded. The APS units are also equipped with
vibro-tactile features for pedestrians who are deaf or hard of hearing. Raised arrows on the APS
indicate the crossing direction of the unit, which then vibrates in combination with the audible
tone to indicate right-of-way for that crossing. APS units also use a ‘locator tone’ to assist
pedestrians in locating the pushbutton. This tone currently varies between units as either a ‘
beeping’ or a ‘ticking’ sound. The City of Regina has 69 intersections equipped with APS. As part
of its vision to be an inclusive and accessible community, the City is committed to retrofitting
six signalized intersections with APS annually. Any newly signalized intersections with pedestrian
access are automatically installed with APS. To request a location for APS installation, please
contact Service Regina by submitting a Service Request. ...
Regina History & Facts
image, at the bottom right of the screen, shows Regina’s first house in 1882. A man stands in front
of a small wooden shack. The door to the shack is open. The roof of
the shack slants to the left of the picture, making the roof of the shack on the left side nearly
level with the man’s head. A wagon and horse stand to the right of the man and the house. The horse
is in harness. But as people showed up, so did services, including a newspaper, A photo of The
Leader Company building in about 1883. A two-storey brick building with a one-storey attached
building with large smokestack is in the centre frame of the image. The sign on the two-storey
building reads “The Leader Company”. To the left is an unidentified one-storey wooden building. To
the right is an unidentified wooden building. Two people stand near the front entrance of the
Leader Company, to the left of the image. A wooden plank sidewalk and a dirt road lead up to the
Leader Company Building. churches, A photograph of St. Paul’s Cathedral in about 1909. A brick
cruciform church stands behind a tall tower in the foreground. The church features two large, round
stained glass rose windows on both left and right wings. The tower is topped by a black spire and
has multiple Gothic style arched windows throughout. The church still stands at 1861 McIntyre
Street. a post office, A photograph of Regina’s first post office in 1883. A two-storey, white,
rectangular, wooden building fronted by multiple windows. A wooden plank sidewalk and dirt road are
in front of the building. Several men stand directly in front of the building, while a man driving
a team of two horses pulling a wagon is in the foreground. and schools. Regina became a town on
December 1, 1883. A photograph of the White School in about 1902. A two-storey, wooden building
topped with a bell tower cupola to the left. A notation on the image reads, “The White School Built
1889 Demolished 1910 Site – Simpson’s Store”. In 1885, anger toward the government among Metis
people of the North West Territories turned into what became known as the Riel Resistance, or the
Northwest Resistance. Louis Riel, who had been instrumental in founding the province of Manitoba,
returned to Canada from the United States to form a Metis government at Batoche. A photograph of
Louis Riel. It is a close-up image of a man with dark, curly hair cut slightly below ear length. He
has a large, dark moustache and is wearing a white, collarless shirt under a dark vest and suit
jacket. The Canadian government answered this with a show of force that stopped the resistance. A
composite image consisting of two pictures. The top left image shows the 1885 militia of the
North-West. Two rows of men with rifles pose on the flat, featureless prairie. The back row
consists of 13 standing men in a line, posed in ¾ profile toward the left of the image. The second
row consists of 13 kneeling men posed in ¾ profile toward the left of the image. To the far left of
the rows is a man posed facing the camera. To the far right of the rows are three men posed facing
the camera. One man is in the background. In front of him is a man with a snare drum hanging from
his neck. To the far right is a man with a bass drum hanging from his neck. The bottom right image
shows the 1885 militia on the bridge at Fort Qu’Appelle. A wagon leads a row of militia fighters
toward the right of the image. At the far left of the image is a wagon pulled by horses about to
step onto a white wooden bridge. Riel was captured, tried for treason and swiftly – and
controversially- executed in Regina on November 16, 1885. Riel’s execution remains contentious to
this day, and his legacy has shifted drastically from that of a traitor to that of a hero and
protector. A composite image of three pictures. The first image on the left of the screen shows
Judge Hugh Richardson, the presiding judge at the Riel trial, in 1885. Judge Richardson has white
hair and a white handlebar moustache. He sits on a padded wooden chair facing forward. He wears a
dark suit, vest and tie. His vest has a pocket watch fob and chain pinned to the front and trailing
into the jacket interior. The second image at the top right is the courthouse where Riel was tried.
The image was taken in about 1890. A white, two-storey building sits on a featureless flat plain. A
horse and several men stand to the right of the building. Directly in front of the building are
three men. In the right foreground of the image is a long row of saddled horses. The third image on
the bottom right shows the North West Mounted Police guardroom where Louis Riel was held awaiting
trial. The image was taken in about 1900. The building is a long wooden building with a porch and
several cupolas and chimneys along its roof line. A fence made of wrought iron and brick stands to
the left of the building. A tree is in the left foreground. Regina had a complex and strained
relationship with the local Indigenous community at the time of the Riel Rebellion and after.
Regina’s connection to the residential school system goes through to one of its earliest pioneers,
Nicholas Flood Davin. The founder of the Regina Leader, a poet and a member of parliament, Davin
was the author of the 1879 “Report on Industrial Schools for Indians and Half-Breeds”, also known
as the “Davin Report”. This became the blueprint for John A. Macdonald’s government as they
implemented the residential school system for Indigenous children. The impact on Canada’s
Aboriginal population was staggering and generational in its scope. A photograph of Nicholas Flood
Davin in about 1873. Davin sits on a leather chair in ¾ profile, knees crossed and tilted to the
right of the image. His arm rests on the chair back with his thumb and index finger touching the
side of his head. He is bald on top with a small tuft of dark, curly hair above his ear. He has a
small moustache and wears a bow tie, white shirt, vest and woolen coat and trousers. A photograph
of graduates of the Regina Indian Industrial School in about 1898. Four rows of Indigenous students
pose in formal suits for the male students and heavy black dresses with puff-sleeved jackets for
the female students. The image is discoloured because of over-exposure during photo developing and
the top left row of students is blurrier than the right side of the image. The top row has eight
male students. The second row from the top shows nine male students. The third row from the top
shows six male students and two female students. The fourth row shows 10 seated female students.
Regina was the site of the Regina Indian Industrial School, which was located west of the city near
what is now the Paul Dojack Youth Centre. This was a Presbyterian institution, part of the
residential schools program that devastated First Nations communities around Canada for decades. It
operated from 1891 to 1910, and was demolished in 1948. The cemetery for the Regina Indian
Industrial School was abandoned and largely forgotten for decades. Photograph of the Regina Indian
Industrial School in about 1895. A long brick building with many windows top and bottom, and two
covered entrances. The roofline has a cupola with a bell and a chimney. In front of the building
are many teams of horses pulling wagons and multiple people. On the top floor, several students
look down upon the scene from windows. The City of Regina has just begun grappling with how to put
the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee into practice. The City of Regina
Archives supplied material to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission during its fact-finding,
including this image. A photograph of a drum with red sides and a yellow and blue painted cruciform
image on top. It is being played by members of a drumming circle at National Aboriginal Day at City
Hall in 2014. The male drummers sit in a circle on chairs around the drum. No faces are visible.
Eight drumsticks strike the drum at the same time. The drumsticks are blurred because the
photograph was taken while the drumming was in progress. In March 2016, City Council unanimously
committed to acting on the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A photograph
of two Indigenous dancers in elaborate costumes performing at Henry Baker Hall during National
Aboriginal Day in 2014. Both dancers are blurred as they have been captured while dancing was in
progress. The costumes feature feathers and ribbons with a colour palette of reds, yellows, blue,
orange and white. Both dancers wear eagle feathers as part of their headdress. Behind the dancers,
visitors and members of the media watch while the drum circle accompanies the dancers. Some of the
observers are also dressed in dancing costumes and awaiting their turn to perform. One of the City
of Regina’s first steps in this journey was to provide heritage designation to the Regina Indian
Industrial School cemetery site, which took effect in September 2016. A photograph of Boggy Creek
wellspring in about 1911-1912. A wooden platform with metal machinery stands to the back and rises
above a metal pipe. The pipe is spurting water. A man’s legs are visible on the platform above the
pipe. A small boy stands to the left of the spurting pipe out of the range of water. In 1903,
Regina became a city, partly because Regina had a pressing need for things like running water, A
photograph of a well spring, taken in 1911-1912. sidewalks, The image is titled “Regina Flood,
April 13th 1916”. Several wooden buildings stand on a flat, featureless plain surrounded by water.
A wooden plank sidewalk runs above the water in the foreground. paved roads, A photograph of four
men in their best clothing pose with shovels and a wheelbarrow. The man to the far right stands
with a wheelbarrow. The second man stands in a stooped posture, posing with a pickaxe. A third man
stands holding a broom and smoking a cigar. The fourth man stands posing, holding a shovel. In the
background is a car and several houses. sewers, A photograph of a large trench reinforced with
metal rebar is surrounded by a metal track apparatus that is being used to transport large, wooden
sewer pipes into place within the trench. In the background stands the steam-powered boring machine
used to dig the trench. Two men in suits stand in the background in front of the machine and at the
edge of the trench. To the right of the image, three men work near sections of sewer pipe. One
section of pipe has been suspended from a metal chain and is being pulled into place in the trench.
Wooden houses are in the far background of the image. and electricity. ...
