May 18-Assiniboia Club building


Founded in 1882, the Assiniboia Club in Regina was THE gentlemen's club at the turn of the century. Deals were made; fortunes founded and lost by leaders in the community. It is one of the few buildings from this period that still exist in Regina.
To learn more about its history (and to see a photo of it from 1925), look at this Wikipedia entry about Regina's old buildings.

May 17-CK Pizza murals

These murals are located on the outside of the CK (Copper Kettle) Pizzaria on Hamilton Street. Not only do they brighten up the downtown core, it also helps to prevent grafitti on our downtown buildings.
