More on Regina
Regina was founded in 1882 when Edgar Dewdney, the leutenant-governor of the then North-West Territories, decided to create a settlement on the rolling grassland beside a pile of bison bones. The place then known as Pile-of-Bones was an unpopular choice, considering two other sites, Troy and Fort Qu'Appelle were geographically superior. It erupted into a scandal where Dewdney's choice was tied to his having bought land at Pile-of-Bones. Nonetheless, there was nothing much that could be done to challenge the decision, and the town at Pile-of-Bones was eventually developed.
Regina experiences a humid continental climate with extreme temperatures. Summers are warm, with average high reaching over 25°C (78°F) in July and August. Winters ate bitterly cold, with the termometer dropping below 0°C in the months of November to February. The coldest month is January, when the average high temperature of the day is just -10.7°C.
