The 3-Minute Rule for Regina Easley - NIST

Since the 1940s, many of the towns near Regina have progressively lost population as western Canada's agrarian economy reorganised itself from small household farm landholdings of a quarter-section (160 acres [65 ha], the initial standard land grant to homesteaders) to the multi-section (a "section" being 640 acres [260 ha] landholdings that are significantly necessary for economic practicality.

Qu'Appelle, at one time planned to be the metropole for the initial District of Assiniboia in the North-West Territories (as they then were), saw throughout the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s Regina cottagers go through en route to the Qu'Appelle Valley; Highway 10, which bypassed Qu'Appelle, running straight from Balgonie to Fort Qu'Appelle off Highway Number 1, quickly ended this.

Fort Qu'Appelle and its neighbouring resort villages on the Fishing Lakes remain a summer season getaway venue of choice; Indian Head is far enough from Regina to have a self-governing identity however close enough that its appeal and vigor bring in commuters it "has a series of professional services and tradespeople, banks, and a number of retail establishments." Re/Max Regina was the scene of outside shooting series in the CBC television series "Little Mosque on the Grassy field." and Emerald Park are quasi-suburbs of Regina, as have ended up being Balgonie, Pense, Grand Coulee, Pilot Butte and Lumsden in the Qu'Appelle Valley, some 16 km (10 mi) to the north of Regina.
