Mackenzie Art Gallery

This isn't a small private studio, but the MacKenzie Art Gallery, an art museum in Regina, Saskatchewan. It is a collection that first had its inception in 1953. You can find the museum inside the T. C. Douglas Building, which is a multipurpose structure situated at the edge of the Wascana Centre. If you have a penchant for scale, you can pick out the size of the exhibition space, which totals 24,000 sq ft. Within those walls, the building holds eight galleries to display the works. I've noticed the walk from the park to the entrance is a great way to clear your head before looking at the art, and the building's location makes it a very easy landmark to spot as you approach from the greenery.

Statue of Queen Elizabeth II riding Burmese

Let me show you the Statue of Queen Elizabeth II riding Burmese. This equestrian statue had its inception in 2005, marking its place in the city from that point forward. When you visit, you can pick out the details of the Queen and her horse, Burmese, captured in bronze. It is a prominent landmark for anyone walking through this part of Regina, regardless of whether you are playing a game of CityGolf or just exploring the local sights. I usually find the area around the base is a great spot to pause and look around at the surrounding streets. It is a wonderful example of public art that brings a bit of royal history to the sidewalks of the city for everyone to see.

Royal Saskatchewan Museum

You might expect a typical art gallery, but the Royal Saskatchewan Museum is a natural history museum located in Regina, Saskatchewan. It holds a special place in the region as the first museum in Saskatchewan. Beyond its local status, it is also the first provincial museum among the three Prairie provinces. The institution was formed to secure and preserve natural history specimens and objects of historical and ethnological interest. I've noticed that the building has a certain weight to it, which makes sense given it was founded in 1906. Whether you are interested in the province's early history or the natural world, it is a grounding stop in the city. You can pick out the specific focus on preservation that has guided the museum since its beginning.

Albert Memorial Bridge

The city of Regina commissioned this beam bridge as a functional war memorial. It is a municipal heritage property that carries traffic across the north and south banks of Wascana Creek along Albert Street in Saskatchewan. When you look at the scale of the crossing, you can see it measures 256 metres in length and 22 metres in width. Construction on the bridge started in 1930. I have found that the view of the creek from the span is one of the better spots in the area to stop and look around, provided you aren't too busy focusing on your next shot. It is a sturdy piece of infrastructure that remains a key part of the local commute and a point of pride for the community.

Darke Hall

Darke Hall is a theatre building that holds a place in Regina's history. Built in 1928, the venue had its inaugural concert opening on 6 January 1929. Today, it is the main performance venue for the Conservatory of Music at the University of Regina. You can pick out the work of architect J.H. Puntin in the design of the 470 seat hall. It was named for Francis Nicholson Darke, a former mayor of the city. While the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts opened later in 1970, this hall remains a key spot for music and performance in Saskatchewan. I've noticed it's a great place to stop and appreciate the local architecture while you're passing through.

Knox Metropolitan United Church

Knox Metropolitan United Church is a church building that was started in 1906 and finished in 1907. Designed by the architect Darling and Pearson, the building is now a municipal heritage property. It is located on Lorne Street at Victoria Avenue in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and sits across from Victoria Park. Long before this specific structure was completed, the area had a history of combined faith. In 1882, Presbyterian and Methodist congregations had worship services in both traditions. This site remains a central part of the downtown landscape, providing a point of reflection for those visiting the nearby park or traveling through the heart of the city. The building stands as a physical record of the community's religious history and the architectural style of the early twentieth century.

St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral located on the outskirts of Regina's central business district. This site has a long history in the community, having been built as a parish church in 1894–1895. Since those early years, the building has seen its ecclesiastical importance grow. In 1944, it became the pro-cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Qu'Appelle. This specific diocese serves the region of southern Saskatchewan, Canada. The progression of the site continued into the following decades, and the status of the building was officially raised to that of cathedral in 1973. Visitors can see the result of these changes in the presence of the building today as it continues to serve its congregation on the edge of the city's business center.

Mosaic Stadium

You will first notice the open-air design of Mosaic Stadium, located at REAL District in Regina, Saskatchewan. It is the home field of the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders, having replaced Taylor Field. The stadium was designed by HKS, Inc., in joint venture with B+H. Preliminary construction began in early 2014, and the project was declared substantially complete on August 31, 2016. While the city of Regina owns the stadium, the Regina Exhibition Association Ltd. handles the operations. It is a massive structure that dominates the local skyline, making it a great landmark for getting your bearings in the city. I've seen a few fellow birds try to nest in the rafters, but the crowds usually keep things too loud for a nap.

Government House

In the heart of Regina, you will find Government House. This national historic site is the official office of the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan, and it is also designated as a provincial heritage property. Thomas Fuller was the architect of the building. It was first constructed as a residence for the lieutenant governor of the North-West Territories. In 1905, Regina became the capital of Saskatchewan, and Government House became the official residence of the lieutenant governor of Saskatchewan that same year. The house was vacated in 1944, but it returned to official ceremonial use in 1984. I find it a peaceful spot to stop and look around, away from the busier streets of the city. It is a place where you can really appreciate the architecture and the history of the region.
