It’s time to celebrate Canada Day! On Saturday, July 1, 2023, many great events are scheduled throughout Regina, starting with a pancake breakfast and ending with fireworks after sunset. Visit https://www.reginacanadaday.ca/ for details.
Prior to the start of the fireworks, be advised that there will be a road closure and additional traffic enforcement surrounding the Wascana Park area. Starting at 9:00 p.m., Albert Street between College Avenue and Regina Avenue will be closed. Regina Police reminds drivers to not park illegally or stop vehicles on the road to watch the fireworks, with emphasis on the Highway 1 bypass between Assiniboine Avenue and Wascana Parkway, as well as on Broad Street between College Avenue and Lakeshore Drive.
Keep the day’s celebrations safe and fun by following these reminders:
- Anticipate higher amounts of traffic and pedestrians around Wascana Park. Leave early, plan your route accordingly, and be patient and courteous towards other drivers and folks walking to the events;
- Park legally and in designated parking spots. Lock your doors and remove valuables to deter thieves;
- No smoking in public areas;
- Respect the park grounds and area by putting your refuse in use trash cans and only consuming alcohol in the designated beer garden;
- Keep little ones nearby and within eye sight. In case of lost children, or if you find a lost child, please attend immediately to the Lost Children’s tent located near the Main Stage off Legislative Drive for assistance.
- Other events outside of Canada Day celebrations occur in other areas of the park. Let’s respect those functions as well.
Have a safe and happy Canada Day!
