Tour, taste and experience a festival of cultures at Mosaic 2025
It started off as a single-day event, but 55 years later, 15 pavilions run entirely by volunteers are inviting you to visit them over three days from June 5 to June 7, 2025.
How does it work?
This event provides an opportunity for members of ethno-cultural communities to be able to promote their culture within the City of Regina. Mosaic - A Festival of Cultures allows the multicultural community to provide a family focused event that celebrates culture while building public awareness about the rich cultural diversity in our community.
This is done by each community hosting their own 'pavilion' at various venues around the city. At every pavilion, you can watch cultural performances while enjoying customary food and drink and learning more about their history and traditions through displays and exhibits. To get access into every pavilion, all you need is your passport which you can buy at any one of them. The more you visit, the more stamps you'll get inside it.

More than nine million people have visited Mosaic through the years. Will you be one of them this time around?
Make sure you get your passport to tour, taste and experience Mosaic 2025!
CBC is proud to sponsor this globally focused local event.

DIY skatepark pops up in Centretown, unsanctioned by the city
Jordan Wells skateboarding at the DIY skatepark in Centretown on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025 (Katelyn Wilson/CTV News Ottawa) A new skatepark has appeared in Ottawa's Centretown but it wasn't built by the city. It's tucked away at the corner of Bronson Avenue and Slater Street and was built by local skateboarders. It's what's known as a DIY or 'Do It Yourself' skatepark—an unsanctioned, community-created spot. 'It's very much like a part of skateboard culture in the sense of it's a DIY effort,' said skateboarder Jordan Wells. 'Really it's kind of like putting graffiti on the wall and making an art piece in that kind of way.' The DIY park has drawn skaters of all levels, with some saying it includes unique obstacles and features. 'A lot of this stuff you won't find at your average skatepark,' one skater told CTV News, 'aside from maybe the rail and the box.' But while the space is already proving popular, it's not officially sanctioned and that means the city could remove it at any time. In a statement the city says, 'While the street is not in use at this time, the City is planning to permanently close this section of road and work with the adjacent landowner to create a development opportunity. In the meantime, staff are currently determining next steps for the improvised skatepark, which includes reaching out to a local skateboarding association.' Aaron Cayer with the Ottawa Skateboarding Association says the park is part of a larger movement of DIY skateparks, one that reflects how communities can reclaim and repurpose public space. 'Skateboarders have a tendency to look at the world differently,' he said. 'It's an interesting example of how a community group can reappropriate public space in our city.' He says the association is recommending DIY spaces like this be part of the city's longterm vision. 'Leeside Park in Vancouver is a great example, where something started like this and I believe they created a memorandum of understanding,' he said. For the people who helped build the space, it's about more than just having a place to skate, it's about creating something meaningful and shared. 'I hope we can just have a space to informally create,' Wells said. 'I hope I get a chance to play with more concrete.'

N.W.T. canoe trip turns into emergency evacuation as paddlers flee wildfire
A canoe trip turned into an emergency evacuation last weekend for 42 Tłı̨chǫ paddlers in the N.W.T., after a wildfire came dangerously close to their campsite. The annual Trails of Our Ancestors journey brings together participants from across the Tłı̨chǫ region to connect with history and retrace traditional travel routes. The program experienced a record-breaking number of participants this year, with 28 canoes and over 160 paddlers departing from several communities. Eleven canoes with 66 paddlers departed from Wekweèti, on July 28. The same day, another group left from Gamètì with 42 paddlers in seven canoes. The rest of the paddlers departed from Whatì on August 4. The group from Gamètì was six days into their trip when they encountered a wildfire early Sunday morning. Gamètì Chief Doreen Arrowmaker, who was with the group, said they were already struggling with low water levels, which they anticipated would be a challenge, when they reached a particularly tough stretch with a gruelling portage that took 40 minutes one way, in sweltering heat. The group set up camp for the night later than expected on a traditional hilltop along the portage trail. After eating and socializing fireside, the campers started to settle into their beds at around midnight. Arrowmaker said the group's K'àowo (boss leader) made the decision to have a night watch. "Five or six guys volunteered to watch camp on shifts to monitor for wildlife," she said. "[There] were smaller kids travelling with us, so we felt it best to have night watchers." A few hours later, around 3 a.m., those on night watch noticed an orange glow on the horizon. "Some of them thought that the sun was rising already," Arrowmaker said. "And then when they look closely, they realized that it was a fire." The rest of the group was alerted and quickly packed what they could in the dark, using headlamps and flashlights. Arrowmaker said the fire was so close she could see flames and embers coming up around them. "We could hear the fire, you know how it makes that noise? I can't even describe the sound," she said. "It was a frightening experience ... and we were afraid we might get trapped." The group moved quickly down the hill to reach their boats. Arrowmaker said they then made their way to a nearby island before embarking on another difficult portage over land and upstream in thick smoke to reach a second island, where they waited for rescuers. It was then about 5 a.m. The group had to clear an area for the helicopters to land. Not long after, Great Slave Helicopters and Acasta HeliFlight arrived and began flying people out in groups, first the children, then the women and elders. Arrowmaker said paddlers were returned to Gamètì before visibility worsened and grounded flights. Participants who couldn't return home are now staying with family, friends, or in hotels in Behchokǫ̀ and Yellowknife. According to N.W.T. Fire, the wildfire that threatened the group was human-caused, and still burning out of control as of Wednesday. It was an estimated one hectare in size, and being monitored by fire officials. Helicopters arrived after the group evacuated camp 2 hours ago Staying calm and working together Despite the traumatic experience, Arrowmaker said she was proud of their K'àowo and the paddlers for remaining calm and working well together. "We all knew that human lives were more important than material things," she said. "We want to make sure that people are safe, and that's what we work hard for." She also praised the young people who were part of the group, saying they played a critical role in helping the elders. "They were the ones that really got into the riverways … and helped a lot of these older people," she said. "Not only with their boats, but also with their packs." Arrowmaker said many of the Gamètì paddlers still want to finish what they started. The group plans to recover the canoes they left behind and restart their journey near Russell Lake, aiming to reunite with the other paddling groups before arriving on the water in Behchokǫ̀ for the annual Tłı̨chǫ gathering, next week. Arrowmaker said this year's canoe journey will be remembered as one of the most challenging, and also frightening and traumatic for some participants. But she said challenges are part of the journey, and the paddlers got through it all by working together. "You know, we had a really good group," she said. "I think one of the things I'll ever take away from this trip is that it was fun being out in the land, and I really enjoyed being with the people."
