We are Global Citizens

We are Global Citizens

“Regina and Saskatchewan have recently seen a remarkable increase in the number of new Canadians who are choosing to settle here. This is great news for our communities, and our economy. It is also great news for Regina Public Schools where, this year, we have seen more than 500 students who are new to the city” (Julie McRae, April 18th, 2013)
