REGINA, Sask. — There’s plenty happening in Regina this Labour Day weekend, with a variety of family-friendly events and activities planned throughout the city from Friday through Monday.
“This upcoming weekend is always busy for Regina with the Labour Day Classic, and businesses, retailers and hotels are ready to welcome visitors,” said Jennifer Johnson, deputy city manager, Communications, Service Regina and Tourism.
“There is lots for residents to do as well and we encourage everyone to explore Regina and enjoy the excitement surrounding the game.”
Six life-sized exploration pins will be placed at locations across Regina to highlight activities happening over the weekend. These oversized pin markers create shareable photo moments, promote local businesses and build community pride. Activities taking place over the weekend include:

Regina is on the radar of travellers across Canada. The Expedia Fall Travel Report named Regina at the top of the list for both trending and value destinations of the season, highlighting Regina as a destination worth exploring.
“Between winning major events, a championship CFL team, the upcoming Foo Fighters concert, and our regular attractions and great restaurants it makes sense that visitors are curious about Regina,” said Johnson.
