Public Notice - Design Package 3 (March 21)

shed 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. Dewdney, in addition to being a land surveyor and politician, was a land speculator. He was also Indian commissioner during his time as lieutenant-governor, and was instrumental in setting up the reserve system, a legacy which continues to impact Canada’s Indigenous peoples. Dewdney answered directly to John A. Macdonald, who was minister of the interior as well as prime minister, so when Dewdney’s land speculation in the Regina area came to light in Parliament, it sparked a major controversy. Other sites with more natural beauty, such as Moose Jaw and Troy (now Qu’Appelle) had been rejected as locations for the capital. Newspapers and politicians at the time, speculated that the only reason for selection of Pile of Bones as the capital of Assiniboia was its proximity to Dewdney’s own land purchase. Editorial cartoon of “The Governor-General Transforming Pile of Bones Into Regina, Capital of Assinobia”, from the book REGINA: An Illustrated History by J. William Brennan. The cartoon depicts Edgar Dewdney dumping a bottle of perfume on a pile of bones while political critics ask “Doesn’t your Excellency detect a Bad Odour about this Pile of Bones?” A directional sign in the background points “To Fort Qu’Appelle The Natural Capital of Assinobia”. The Canadian Pacific Railroad ultimately foiled Dewdney’s plan and chose to move the train station closer to what is now Regina’s downtown. Photograph looking south from the railroad tracks in about 1883. A wooden plank sidewalk leads to a wooden building at the left of the frame. In the distance are wooden shacks with a dirt wagon trail leading from the railroad tracks to the settlement. There are no trees or landscaping. The photograph was taken from the top of a rail car, giving an elevated view of the town. Dewdney did, however, influence the location of several government buildings. A composite image of three photographs. The first image at the top left is of the RCMP barracks building in about 1890. Several wooden buildings and a tall wooden tower sit on a flat treeless plain, interspersed with dirt wagon trails leading to the buildings. The second image at the top right shows the Territorial Administration Building in about 1905. This building still stands at 3304 Dewdney Avenue. A second empire-style two-storey brick office building stands next to two smaller buildings and a windmill on a flat treeless plain. A field leads up to a fence surrounding the buildings. The third image at bottom shows Government House at an unknown date. Government House still stands at 4607 Dewdney Avenue. ...
