‘Proud to be Canadian': National pride on full display during Canada Day events in Regina
The true north was certainly 'strong and free' on Tuesday, as those in Regina flocked to Wascana Park for a day full of family friendly activities and entertainment. 'We definitely have a large group of every culture that's in Regina. It's really cool to see everybody in the community come together and just be proud to be Canadian,' shared Brice Perkins, media coordinator for the Regina Canada Day Committee. More than 50,000 people attended Canada Day celebrations in the Queen City, where they were treated to bouncy castles, food trucks, live music and other activities. The crowds in attendance resembled a sea of red and white – stemming from Canadian merchandise like red hats to tattoos of the maple leaf. 'That's something really nice about Canada Day it just brings out all the positivity that everyone has,' Perkins added. 'It's like Christmas in July, everyone's happy for one day and it's just really good to see the public over there.' Aside from the events in Wascana Park, other festivities were held at Government House. Canada Day Regina Canada Day festivities were held in Wascana Park on July 1, 2025.

'We're definitely seeing more pride. For example, last year we ordered about 2,000 flags and tattoos. This year we did 10,000 and we ran out in the morning,' explained Perkins. 'It just shows you that there's a lot more people in the park, a lot more people feeling that Canadian pride and just showcasing that they're proud to be Canadian.' The day-long celebration is set to close with a 17-minute-long fireworks display at Wascana Park.
