Most of us take for granted the basic necessities provided to us in our place of employment: a fair wage, personal safety. These were just a few of the things the “On To Ottawa Trekkers” were demanding the federal government provide them in their work environments back in 1935. The group of nearly 2,000 trekkers were stopped in Regina on their way to Ottawa. A Dominion Day public meeting in the Market Square is where the riot broke out.

July 1st, 2010 marks the 75th Anniversary of the Regina Riot. There will be a Walking Tour held 11:00 am-12 noon starting at the Police Station, 1717 Osler Street, down 11th Avenue to Scarth Street.

Looking for a volunteer opportunity that enables you to spend more time outdoors? YARA-Grow Regina Community Garden located at McLeod Park, 3500 Queen Street may be your match – green thumbs not required.

Grow Regina and its members dedicates 15% of the garden plots to grow vegetables for donation to the Food Bank. These Food Bank plots require the support of volunteers to prepare the soil, plant, water, weed and harvest. Grow Regina has a long term vision to develop this Community Garden into a world class facility through improvements and upgrades planned over the next several years as funding materializes.

If you are interested in supporting this cause but would prefer to be indoors, you can still help out. There are several committees working throughout the year, not just during the garden season, to plan, organize and
dream of new ways to improve your gardening experience.

If donating your time is not an option, Grow Regina now accepts cash donations in lieu of volunteering.

If you would like to learn more please visit their website http://growregina.ca/volunteer or contact Grow Regina by
email at contact@growregina.ca or phone 352-4813.
