Wascana Centre

Wascana Centre is a 930-hectare green space in the heart of Regina, featuring scenic Wascana Lake. With the support of SGEU, Wascana centre employees raised public awareness on the deteriorating condition of the lake and surrounding park area. Through a public forum in October 2002 and a mail-in questionnaire, many citizens came foreward with ideas and concerns, which were compiled into a written report. SGEU presented the report to the Wascana Centre Authority in 2003. The resulting public pressure led to a multi-million dollar project to deepen the lake. Our members continue to monitor the state of the park, and to invite citizen input.
