If seeing is believing, then you simply have to see Saskatchewan. Otherwise, you won’t believe the expanse of the land, or the feeling of serenity that the constant, distant horizon brings to your soul. You won’t believe the size of the endless sky overhead, or the vibrant colours that fill it at sunrise, sunset or midnight. You won’t believe the down-to-earth, welcoming nature of the people you’ll meet, or the range of cultures and experiences that have come together to create this unique and spirited society.

Regina, the Capital City of Saskatchewan, is located in the southern portion of the province. The city is home to the largest legislative building in Canada and hosts the world- renowned Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Academy and RCMP Heritage Centre.

In the heart of the city you will find Wascana Centre, a 300-acre urban park boasting a pristine view of the Saskatchewan Legislature, marina, walking paths, bird watching venues, park area, tennis courts, picnic and BBQ sites. The park also accommodates the Saskatchewan Science Centre, Kramer Imax Theatre, the MacKenzieArt Gallery, and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.

Aside from many attractions, Regina is also rich in resources as agriculture, tourism, and oil and gas production fuel the economy. While Regina's economic base is diverse it is also recognized as one of the most affordable places to live, work, play and do business in western North America.

The Travel Gallery:  Bringing peace of mind to your travel arrangements

Welcome to Life in Canada!  We are very excited that you are taking the opportunity to visit our wonderful country, and the city of Regina in particular.  We know that the journey is challenging and that you might be worried about what will happen when you get here.  Put those worries aside.  We’re here to help you

As the official travel agency with LifeinCanada.ca we can take care of all your arrangements.  We’ll help you find the best flight connections to the Canadian destinations you want to visit.  Your hotel accommodations will be selected to suit your tastes, interests and family considerations.  While visiting Regina, you’ll join an orientation tour of the Queen City – one that will introduce you to our neighbourhoods, our tourist attractions, our parks and our people. 

And – since you’re coming this long way to a place as diverse as Canada, we’ll help you explore other parts of our country.  You may have always wanted to see Vancouver, or ride a train through the Rockies; or perhaps you’ve heard about driving the Banff-Jasper Highway – one of the truly great drives on the planet.  Or maybe it’s visiting a fishing camp in Northern Saskatchewan where the air is clear and the fish abound. Or could it be that Vancouver Island, with Victoria at one end and the Cathedral Forest at the other is one of your dreams.  We can even get you to Whistler, part of the 2010 Winter Olympic sites and truly a magnificent location.  There’s Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City (celebrating 400 years in 2008), Prince Edward Island and the rock island, Newfoundland.  That’s just scratching the surface of the places to see.  We know you probably have a “must-see” list – we’ll help you check it off

In other words, we’re here for you.  All the details and arrangements will be handled by us.
