- The owner of the Regina Pats wants to buy the 6,000-seat venue where his team plays, along with a distillery, a nearby McDonald's, volleyball and pickleball courts, and several aging buildings used primarily during farm shows. So, what’s in the fine print?
Shaun Semple says it stops the city from hemorrhaging money on aging property it had no plan to fix. Along with a 100-year civic tax exemption, the Brandt Group of Companies would be entitled to other revenue-generating assets on the exhibition grounds, including buildings the city still owns. Some citizens and councillors believe the sale is too rushed and want the city to negotiate better terms.

A quick warm up that's causing extreme flooding in several parts of the province, washed out highways, flooded fields that are supposed to be seeded very soon.
Starting with the English River First Nation where people ended up stranded. Unable to get back home when a highway became completely washed out.
In the Kelvington area where the ground isn't just saturated it looks like a rapidly flowing river that's taking top soil with it.

- If you've been to Regina, there's a good chance you were there for Agribition. Maybe you went through the McDonald's drive thru after a Pats or Rider game or you attended a wedding at the Queensbury Centre. Perhaps you've played in a pickleball tournament or picked up some spirits from the YQR Distillery.
The REAL campus is a cluster of buildings in the heart of Regina.
Currently, the city owns that land but that could soon change.
The Brandt Group has made an offer the mayor and council are now considering to buy some of those buildings. There's a lot at stake with this potential deal.
When does it make sense for private companies to take over public assets?
Should cities be in the entertainment business or should that be done privately?
