The Regina Neighbourhood Series:
North Central Regina – peopled with labourers for Canadian Pacific Railway and Warehouse District, this area is home to ‘Taylor Field’, Regina Exhibition Grounds, Pasqua Hospital and the Territorial Buildings. Its character and contributions to the city are celebrated. Did you know that Girl Guide Cookies were invented in North Central in 1927?

Germantown (now called Heritage Community) emerged as a distinct working-class neighbourhood in the early 1900s. It was nicknamed for the numbers of German, and Central / Eastern European immigrants who lived there. It published its own weekly German language newspaper from 1900 until the eve of WW II in 1939.

Old Warehouse District. Continuing in the Regina Neighbourhood Series, this area was officially designated as the Warehouse District in 1904 and once known as the "distribution centre of the West", producing everything from beer to John Deere. Guest curator: Yolanda Hansen.
