About Regina

Welcome to Regina, Saskatchewan — Host City of Canada’s Farm Show

Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan and the province’s second-largest city.

Located on Treaty 4 Territory, home to the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota, and the traditional territory of the Métis Nation.

Home to more than 250,000 residents, proud sports fans and the 2025 Grey Cup Champions, Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Story Behind the Name

People often say Regina’s Indigenous name meant “Pile of Bones,” but Oskana kâ-asastêki actually translates to “the place where bones are piled.” This referred to the bison bones stacked after traditional hunts. The English settler name “Pile O’ Bones” came later, inspired by the same imagery.

In 1882, the community was renamed Regina to honour Queen Victoria. Regina is Latin for “queen,” which is why the city is commonly known as the Queen City today.
