REGINA — As affordability remains an ongoing topic
one province has recently made parking at healthcare facilities
As of May 1st, Nova Scotia removed any on-site parking fees
losing nearly $20 million in annual revenue
As it stands, Regina’s General Hospital and Pasqua Hospital require visitors to pay $1 for parking every 30 minutes or a maximum of $12 on a given day
the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) introduced parking fees for the emergency department area at both hospitals
questions and concerns were raised by the provincial government and the New Democratic Party (NDP)
SaskToday reached out to the SHA regarding reducing or removing parking fees
The SHA didn't comment if there had been any discussion on the matter
they noted parking lots have "operating expenses such as snow removal
winter traction such as sand or ice melting products so that staff
patients and visitors don’t slip and fall."
the SHA prefers to use the fees towards parking infrastructure
letting health care dollars go towards "high-quality service."
In the 2025 budget, Sask. put $8.004 billion towards healthcare, down from $8.022 billion in 2024.
There is also 60-minute free parking at the Regina General Hospital meant to "provide quick and equitable access for patients who urgently need emergency care," said the SHA
This drew criticism from NDP health critic Vicki Mowat
who said no one should leave the hospital with a parking ticket
"When people are at their most stressed and vulnerable
they shouldn’t be forced to pull out a credit card in a packed waiting room
struggle with a parking kiosk or download a whole new parking app," she said
the SHA suspended parking fees to support frontline patients and workers during COVID-19
This change only lasted until July of the same year

City council shot down an attempt to walk back its plan to fluoridate Regina’s drinking water after a special meeting that stretched into the evening on Friday

After another eight hours of hearing from concerned delegates
city council voted 7-3 against repealing the decision and cancelling fluoride
Shobna Radons (Ward 7) and Bezo were in favour of reconsidering
David Froh (Ward 2) blasted the meeting’s purpose
questioning if it was worth spending “thousands of public dollars” to rehash a decision that had already been made
“Debating science at city hall is absolute lunacy,” said Froh
Many of the opinions expressed Friday echoed what was heard in 2021 by past city councillors during the original debate

Twenty-five people spoke during the meeting while more than 80 people submitted over 900 pages of comments and information for councillors to consider
Nearly half of those submissions came from people outside Regina from places like Calgary
“The practice of fluoridation is immoral and violates the principles of informed consent,” delegate Janelle Gerard said midway through the meeting
Nearly all of the speakers who were against fluoride suggested that scientific conclusions since 2021 have linked its consumption to reduced IQ levels in children and other health risks
“It doesn’t matter what medical experts think about fluoride
There is overwhelming evidence on both sides,” said Regina resident Malia Carson
council heard support from the Canadian Fluoridation Society
the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the College of Dental Surgeons of Saskatchewan
including a letter signed by 75 dentists in the province backing fluoride as an effective protection against dental cavities
“Fluoridation works quietly in the background,” said Regina pediatrician Susan Petryk
Of the four medically trained doctors who spoke Friday
three said consensus among the scientific community on studies referenced by delegates and in Bezo’s motion is that there are flaws in the methodology and data
A large chunk of time was spent on questions about regulation and how fluoride dosage is controlled due to concerns expressed by delegates as well as Bezo and Rashovich
“If I wanted to kill myself by drinking fluoridated water
one of 10 councillors who signed the original motion to approve fluoridation in 2021
“The water would,” answered James Dickinson
a family doctor and professor of family medicine and community health sciences at the University of Calgary
“You’d have to drink a swimming pool of water to reach a toxicity level for fluoride.”
added later that drinking water standards are regulated in Saskatchewan by the provincial Water Security Agency
Radons said the decision in 2021 “dismissed” the public’s input by not doing any consultation
What I’m disputing is the process of how we got to this day,” she said
Regina has held four referendums on adding fluoride since 1954
all of which received majority votes against
A recent poll from Spadina Strategies in Saskatoon surveyed a cross section of 458 Regina residents by phone on April 20 and 21
It found that 52 per cent of respondents were in favour of fluoride in Regina’s water and 31 per cent were against
The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 5.20 percentage points

Regina WatchSask. Rattlers to bring training camp to ReginaRattlers readying for home opener May 15th
Representing Canada for the first time in an international event
Randy Bryden’s Regina-based foursome won the World Senior Men’s Curling Championship on Saturday in Fredericton
Article content“It felt kind of cool the first time
seeing the guys going backwards down the ice with their names on the backs of their Canadian jackets,” said Bryden
but it was awesome because we wanted to win and we really came through
Semenchuck joined the team about six years ago
Despite surrendering a first-end steal of three in Saturday’s final
the Canadians rallied to defeat Scotland’s Tom Brewster 10-7
Brewster has represented Scotland at four world championships and the 2014 Olympics
got three the next end and led 9-7 coming home because we had three three-enders,” said Randy
“There were lots of rocks in play and it was great game to watch
“The guys were playing well so that makes you more confident
To make that many three-enders in an eight-end game
Bryden said it was especially difficult defeating Kapp
“Every game we played we got asked if we had played the Finns yet and everyone said
“We found out afterwards they hadn’t lost a game all year
“Something we also found out is that Canada has been in the final every year
We knew Canada had won five straight (senior men’s world titles)
but I’m glad we didn’t know that about making the final because I wouldn’t want to be the team to end that streak.”
Saskatoon’s Eugene Hritzuk is among the 15 Canadian skips to have won the men’s title
Canada had also won the previous two senior two women’s championships
who is from Gray and grew up curling in Regina
skipped her Alberta-based team to a 5-0 record in round-robin play
Canada advanced to the final by beating USA’s Margie Smith 9-5 and Ireland’s Dale Sinclair 9-4 on Friday before losing the final 10-2 to Scotland’s Jackie Lockhart on Saturday

Regina may be looking at a dusty summer and one less holiday event this year to save $1.55 million on the 2025 general operating budget
“When we provide direction to ‘just find money,’ this is the consequence,” Ward 6 councillor Victoria Flores said during Wednesday’s meeting
after other councillors voiced discontent with administration’s suggested cuts
“I don’t know we’ll ever be happy with this
The rest of the cuts are proposed from deferring planned facility upgrades
reducing security and maintenance for the bathroom at Pat Fiacco Plaza
cancelling mosquito control on “out-of-town locations” and cancelling Light the Lights 2025
Chief financial officer Daren Anderson said these items were chosen because options were limited to things under the city’s control that would affect the mill rate directly
This ruled out anything funded by reserves or subject to fluctuation
or altering staff hours as that requires a procedure under employment laws
“We were also cognizant that we’re a quarter of the way through the year
so it had to be something we could do looking forward to save money,” said Anderson
who added that city departments were polled for suggestions and these were chosen as options that would have “the least impact to our residents and to our customers.”
But some councillors still had concerns about what’s on the chopping block
Dan Rashovich (Ward 1) said he felt like council was “on the outside” of this decision
David Froh (Ward 3) gave an early warning that he intends to ask for this plan to be revisited at the May 7 council meeting
which could lead to administration seeking other options
“The purpose of that reconsideration motion will be to allow administration and council to look at what has been recommended to be reduced and the amounts to be reduced,” he said
Admin’s report notes that cuts in 2025 will slow the city’s progress on initiatives to increase downtown vibrancy as well as the Energy and Sustainability Framework by delaying energy-efficient facility upgrades

FREDERICTON -- A week of domination has ended in the best way possible: Randy Bryden and his Regina Callie rink are the World Senior Men’s Curling champions
Bryden and his Team Canada foursome of third Troy Robinson
lead Chris Semenchuck and alternate Glen Hill capped an undefeated week with a 10-7 win over Scotland’s Tom Brewster in the gold medal game on Saturday morning
The title game proved to be anything but easy
as the teams exchanged big ends from start to finish
Brewster -- who came into the contest with five appearances at the men’s world championship and the silver medal in the 2014 Olympics under his belt -- got off to a great start
That wasn’t unusual for Bryden though
as teams had picked up points on Canada without the hammer in the opening frame on a few occasions during the week
and he’d respond quickly with three of his own in the second to tie things up
Scotland followed with a pair in the third
after which Bryden took his first lead of the game with another three ender in the fourth for a 6-5 edge
Brewster then blanked the fifth and took a pair in the sixth to go up by one with two ends to go
That set the stage for the pivotal seventh end
where Canada would score three for a 9-7 lead and control of the contest coming home
Brewster would be unable to pull off a raise takeout on a Bryden counter in the four foot on his final shot in the eighth end
It was an outstanding week from start to finish for Bryden and crew in Fredericton
as after going to an extra end to defeat Belgium in their first game
they dominated the rest of the round robin and would finish with a 6-0 record
Thanks to that placing and their solid showing in the Draw Shot Challenge throughout the week
Canada advanced straight to the quarter-finals where they took a 6-5 win over Germany’s Andy Kapp
where things were slightly more comfortable in a 6-3 win over Finland’s Tomi Rantamaki
The United States’ Mike Farbelow stole one in the eighth to defeat Finland for bronze
Canada has appeared in the final every year since the tournament’s inception in 2002 and has now won the last six world senior men’s championships
Alta.’s Atina Ford Johnston -- who grew up curling in Regina -- didn’t have as much luck in her gold medal game

Ireland’s Dale Sinclair defeated Japan’s Miyako Yoshimura 6-4 to win the senior women’s bronze medal
city council has decided to proceed with a previous motion to add fluoride to Regina’s water
A large portion of city council based their decision on advice given by local health experts
"[I relied] on the professionals and the experts [for my vote]," said Mayor Chad Bachynski
A health official with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) noted that previous data collected from Grade 1 to Grade 7 students showed better oral health in communities with fluoride in water than without
Health Canada also recommends fluoride in water
stating it can prevent dental and skeletal fluorosis
While seven councillors voted against reconsidering the motion
who put forward the reconsideration motion
said he was "disappointed in the vote."
He said the entire process of adding fluoride to Regina’s water wasn’t good
with the lack of consultation with residents and surrounding communities who will be affected by this decision
the City of Regina just made decisions for other communities," he said
