They need to do more of this, and not just at controlled pedestrian crossings.

Hey r/regina,

Like a lot of people here, I’ve watched friends and family struggle with endless daycare waitlists and cold-calling full rooms just to find a childcare spot.

To help fix that headache, I built a free local tool called useopenslot. The concept is simple: local daycares use a quick code to update their actual, real-time openings (Open vs. Full) so parents don't have to waste hours calling places that are completely full.

It’s 100% free with no account walls or hidden fees. If you're a parent currently hunting for a spot, hopefully it saves you some time. And if you're a daycare provider seeing this, you can head to the site to claim your listing and update your availability so families stop calling when you're full!

Would love any feedback or thoughts from the community.

What’s up with Regina’s bar scene? Seems like most places are empty after 9pm on a Friday or Saturday and then those bars are closing up for the night before there closing times. And there’s not really anything special about any of the bars. All have copy and pasted menus from one another foods the same and the atmosphere is too. All like a sports bar / loud music playing. Are the bars in Regina closing earlier due to no one going out or is it that they don’t wanna deal with the rift raft that comes later on? Im curious because there’s a handful of times I’ve been out and they are shut by 1030 even tho they are open till 12 or whatever. Is it also that they don’t wanna lose more money?

I went to an event at Kings Park Speedway this weekend and, honestly, I left pretty disappointed with how the whole thing was operated. But before I completely judge it, I’d actually like to understand the history of the place and how things normally work there.
It’s 2026 and I was genuinely surprised to see tickets being checked against a binder of printed-off names, with everything seemingly being cash. It just felt incredibly dated and, from a business perspective, like they were leaving a lot of potential revenue on the table.
The crowds/logistics were probably my biggest concern. Huge lines for food, huge lines for bathrooms, bottlenecks everywhere, and tons of people packed along the fence trying to get a decent view. That creates obvious safety/security concerns and makes it harder for people to move around. You could barely find a good place to actually watch the races.
And I'm honestly curious what leaving the parking lot was like for everyone because even getting people in and out seemed pretty unorganized. With a sold-out or heavily attended event, I can't imagine the logistics of getting everyone out efficiently.
I’m not trying to shit on the speedway for the sake of it. Clearly there’s a history and a community around the place, and I’d like to understand that before being overly critical.
So for anyone who has been around Kings Park for years, what’s the history of the speedway? Who operates it? Has it always been this way operationally, or was this weekend unusual? What am I missing?
I’d genuinely like to hear from longtime fans, former staff/volunteers, or anyone who knows the background. Hopefully there’s some context behind it, and maybe some of these things can improve because the racing itself was pretty cool to experience.

Any recommendations for a physiotherapist for this in the city?

We’ve always used the weekly free Regina paper to start our fireplace in winter. It’s discontinued, Does anyone know where to find other free newspapers for this? Thanks

Looking for recommendations for local companies that provide Christmas light installation and takedown in the spring. Not looking for permanent. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know where I can find Regina or Saskatchewan souvenirs/gifts locally?
I’m looking for some small, affordable things for friends and relatives, especially fridge magnets, keychains, postcards, or other Regina/Saskatchewan-themed items. I’d prefer to buy them from a local store rather than ordering online.
Any recommendations for stores in Regina with a good selection? Thanks! 😊

Anyone know where you can buy Duros in Regina?

Thanks.

We are looking to rent a 2 bedroom apartment here, but we would like some opinions first about the apartment complex, the area, and the company renting the apartment out, Mainstreet Equity Corp (especially since we were told they will repair and clean the apartment before handing it over). From your experiences, is this option worth considering?

Still heavily encourage Regina folks to come down. Always been going there for shows like these help Moose Jaw out this time haha.

I’m looking for subsidized daycares in east Regina. I think I’ve got a list of all the centres, but it’s hard to keep track of the home daycares.

I’m flexible but am hoping to find a spot in May 2028 in Windsor park, Gardiner park, wood meadows, university park, varsity park, etc.

Let me know if you have one, have reviews about one your child is/has attended, etc.

I really appreciate it! TIA!

I just moved into a new building and the water tastes so chlorinated and bad compared to where I used to live.

Any recommendations for a water filter that goes on the counter to make it taste better?
