RRLIP wishes all our 2SLGBTQIAP+ relatives and neighbours in SK a safe and very Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🏳️‍🌈

For more info on Pride events in Regina ~ including the new Pride parade route for June 13th (and the reasons for it) ~ please see the Queen City Pride page: https://www.facebook.com/QueenCityPride

Also mark your calendars for Pride events throughout the month, including Regina Farmers' Market Cooperative Q***r Local Market and Globe Theatre's Regina Pride Kick-off ~ both on June 6th.

June is Pride Month in Saskatchewan. It is a time to recognize and celebrate the resilience, diversity, and contributions of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It’s also an opportunity to raise awareness and continue the call for inclusion and equality in our communities.

From vibrant parades to film festivals and community markets, celebrations are taking place throughout the province in June. Show your support and consider getting involved in these upcoming events:

• Queen City Pride Festival (Regina) | June 5–13 (https://queencitypride.ca/events/)

• Saskatoon Pride Festival | June 22–28 (https://saskatoonpride.ca/events)

• Prince Albert Pride Week | May 31–June 7 (https://www.facebook.com/PrinceAlbertPride/)

Let’s work together to help build a Saskatchewan where everyone feels valued and respected not only this month, but year round.

The RRLIP is excited to celebrate the month of 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 (as well as Pride month; see separate post, coming *tomorrow). A number of events will be taking place in what is colonially known as Regina and Canada, including 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀' 𝗗𝗮𝘆 (𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗗) 𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟭𝘀𝘁. In Regina, there will be an 𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗗 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟵𝘁𝗵, 𝟭𝟬 𝗮𝗺 - 𝟭 𝗽𝗺; this timing allows schools to bring students in by bus to enjoy and learn from the Indigenous performances, family-friendly activities, children’s crafts, and Indigenous artistry that are planned for this year's celebration, along with a market featuring Indigenous vendors.

For more information on this important time of celebration and gratitude for rich and diverse Indigenous heritage and contributions, we suggest the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan webpage https://mcos.ca/events/indigenous-history/ or the Government of Canada webpage: https://www.rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/1466616436543/1534874922512

While the RRLIP supports the community of Regina to be a more welcoming city for more recent newcomers, we also acknowledge the complex and often painful realities and ongoing legacies of how colonizers and settlers related to the Indigenous peoples living here since time immemorial - the first human inhabitants on these lands. We humbly and gratefully continue to work to foster truly good relationships between more recent newcomers and the diverse Indigenous groups and individuals who are surviving, reviving and (still in too few instances) thriving across Turtle Island ("North America"). In Treaty 4 territory, these are mainly nêhiyawak/Cree, Nahkawininiwak/Saulteaux/Plains Ojibwe, Anishinaabeg, Dakota, Lakota, Nakota/Assiniboine, and the Métis.

𝗘𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘆/𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙮. We encourage using the heightened public focus on Indigenous history throughout this month as an opportunity to expand y/our understanding and enrich our relationships now and in the year(s) ahead!

Saskatchewan Safety Council supports the safety of *all* SK residents, through Career Safety Education (CSE), through research (see their new report on the risks of fatigue at work, home and behind the wheel: https://www.sasksafety.org/fatiguesurvey.html), and through many great training opportunities for all ages and situations - at work, home or play!

Regina area seniors, check out this SSC Mature Drivers Refresher Course coming up on June 5th, where older adults can brush up on their driving skills and knowledge of current SK road rules in a friendly and no-judgment learning environment. Contact Saskatchewan Safety Council to register or for more info.

Another example of SSC's great work in this community: Today the Saskatchewan Safety Council and their team of community volunteers are teaching hundreds of Regina teens how to stay safe at work, at their annual Cade Sprackman Safety Day event. This event started in Hudson Bay after the tragic and preventable loss of Cade's life in a workplace accident, and is now held in multiple communities across the province, helping to make thousands of young lives safer in SK workplaces.

Thank you, Saskatchewan Safety Council! Stay safe out there, SK!

Last one of these in Regina before our summer break is June 5.

Please note: Parent Cafe will take a break over the summer and start again when the Regina Floral Conservatory reopens in September (see original post for more details).

The next Parent Cafe will be on Monday, May 24, 2026. We hope to see you there!

There are only two sessions of Parent Cafe left before the Regina Floral Conservatory closes for the summer. Parent Cafe will resume once the Floral Conservatory reopens in early September and the first session will be Monday, September 14.

The goal of this initiative is to connect and grow support networks for parents who may be struggling with isolation prenatally or postpartum. What better place to grow these networks than at the Regina Floral Conservatory, surrounded by greenery and plants!

An SPHN Facilitator will be present at each session to hang out, chat, and answer any questions.

We will provide complimentary coffee and tea and you are welcome to bring your lunch or snacks to enjoy in our indoor garden.
