Multi-Family Property Waste Guide
l basis is a great way to keep occupants informed about your waste management program. Submit your
waste plan annually to the City of Regina via our website. Your
waste plan must include hauling and processing information. Encourage occupants to recycle their
glass containers. The City of Regina has partnered with SARCAN Recycling to offer residents an
additional option for recycling non-refundable glass containers like pickle jars and jam jars.
Glass is a challenging material to recover from co-mingled recycling programs due to potential
breakage. Glass taken to SARCAN ensures that the containers remain intact and are recycled. Reach
out to the City of Regina for support and resources. Email us at wastediversionservices@regina.ca.
Refer to The Waste Management Bylaw, section 37 for information on proper waste container
management and minimum material collection requirements. Education Material We are here to help
educate your occupants! Providing consistent and visible signage throughout your building(s) helps
occupants properly sort their recycling, food and yard waste and garbage. Signs will also reduce
contamination and encourages waste diversion. Below are free resources and signage to download and

Rapid Housing Initiative – Horse Dance Lodge
and CMHC is committed to working with the City to address challenges and support the delivery of
the project. What is the City’s Role? The City is best positioned to
maintain its current role of supporting the creation of affordable housing units in partnership
with local non-profit organizations. Regina is home to many experienced non-profit organizations
that have well-established relationships with the communities they serve and who understand local
housing needs. The City’s role in this project includes: Facilitating the provision of investment
to our selected non-profit organization Supporting them to build and operate the housing Ensuring
the project complies with development requirements (land use, zoning, building code) similar to all
development projects within the City Information sharing with the public On-going monitoring and
reporting to CMHC over the 20-year agreement timeline What type of housing will this project be?
This RHI project is considered transitional or supportive housing. This is longer-term housing that
is distinct and different from emergency shelters, drop-ins and other forms of temporary
accommodations. The building itself will hold 29 apartments as well as office and communal space to
provide support services to residents. Purpose built supportive housing provides safety, stability,
and dignity to residents and allows them to improve their lives and integrate within the community.
This may include reuniting with children or other family members, attending school or other
training and obtaining employment. Supportive housing is an important part of the housing continuum
and a critical component to ending hoseelessness and building healthy, safe and inclusive
neighbourhoods. What is the need for supportive housing in Regina? Regina’s most recent
Point-In-Time Count (September 2021) found 488 people experiencing houselessness. Although not all
of these individuals would be assessed to need supportive housing, the number of individuals in our
City experiencing houselessness is growing and the number of people waiting for supportive housing
placements remains high. This RHI project will help to address the need for additional longer-term
supportive housing, which houses residents who have chosen to exit houseelessness and are taking
steps towards healing and community integration. Who is going to operate the building? The
partnership of Silver Sage Holdings Ltd. (SSH) and Regina Treaty/Status Indian Services (RTSIS) was
selected through a grant application process. These Indigenous organizations represent a solid
partnership with a proven track record of providing safe, secure, affordable housing and support
services. They have experience supporting individuals who are transitioning to permanent housing.
SSH is the largest off-reserve housing provider in Saskatchewan and has been working to advance
social housing outcomes in Regina for Indigenous clients since 1983. Since 1994, RTSIS has been
working as the exclusive Indigenous-owned and governed, human services delivery agency providing a
wide range of program and service interventions to multi-barrier clients in and around Regina.
RTSIS works with a network of service delivery partnerships to ensure clients have access to a
continuum of social services that can help support them in making successful transitions to
independence, wellness and community belonging. Who will live in this housing development? SSH and
RTSIS intend to manage an inclusive space that is open to men, women and children, including
2SLGBTQ+ residents. SSH and RTSIS provide “status-blind” services and are committed to serving
people in need, regardless of race, ethnicity or any other factor. A condition of the Rapid Housing
Initiative (RHI) funding is that a minimum of 25% of units be targeted towards women or women and
their children. This is a consistent expectation for all RHI projects across Canada. The funding
also targets a minimum of 15% of units be targeted towards Indigenous residents. This RHI project
is likely to exceed this target as Indigenous people are over-represented among those who require
access to supportive housing in Regina. What support services will the residents receive? Support
services will be tailored to the individual needs of each resident. Some services will be provided
on-site, and others will be managed in partnership with other community service organizations and
agencies like the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Supports provided to residents may include:
Healthy Living – meal preparation, nutrition, personal care Social Inclusion – counselling, life
skill training, access to programs and services Cultural – access to healing spaces, traditional
medicines, traditional learning opportunities with Elders and Knowledge keepers How much did the
site cost? The City purchased the property for $1,200,000 which was funded through the federal
government’s RHI allocation to the City of Regina. The appraised value of the property is
$1,553,000. Who is funding the development? The Federal Government allocated $7.75 million in
capital funding through the RHI to the City of Regina. The program and funding is administered by
the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The Government of Saskatchewan is providing
an additional $783,000 10-year forgivable loan towards the capital development of the RHI project.
