Take a self-guided audio tour of downtown Regina and the Heritage Community, and listen to 10 place-based stories told by queer, trans, non-binary, and Two Spirit people who live in Treaty 4.

You’ll learn about a 2SLGBTQIAP+ BIPOC, non-binary, and women’s skate collective called Femmes Across the Board, Indigenous-led efforts to have the statue of John A. MacDonald removed from Victoria Park, making hair salons more queer and trans friendly, Regina’s first pride parade, which was illegal, the city’s only queer film and performance art festival, Queer City Cinema, a trans woman’s successful human rights case to change the sex on her driver’s license, a Two Spirit group that met between 2017 and 2020, upcoming dance workshops for trans and non-binary folx, and Regina’s first gay bar, which was in a house on Smith Street.
