The Leader Post
The ''Regina Leader-Post'' is the daily newspaper of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and a member of the Postmedia Network. Founding The newspaper was first published as ''The Leader'' in 1883 by Nicholas Flood Davin, soon after Edgar Dewdney, Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories, decided to name the vacant and featureless site of Pile-O-Bones, renamed Regina by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, the wife of the Governor General of Canada, as territorial capital, rather than the previously-established Battleford, Troy and Fort Qu'Appelle, presumably because he had acquired ample land on the site for resale. "A group of prominent citizens approached lawyer Nicholas Flood Davin soon after his arrival in Regina and urged him to set up a newspaper. Davin accepted their offerand their $5000 in seed money. The Regina Leader printed its first edition on March 1, 1883." Published weekly by the mercurial Davin, it almost immediately achieved national prominence during the Nort ...

Mayors Of Regina, Saskatchewan
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town.

Waste Water Treatment Facilities
Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable for discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can range from decentralized systems (including on-site treatment systems) to large centralized systems involving a network of pipes and pump stations (called sewerage) which convey the sewage to a treatment plant. For cities that have a combined sewer, the sewers will also carry urban runoff (stormwater) to the sewage treatment plant. Sewage treatment often involves two main stages, called primary and secondary treatment, while advanced treatment also inco ...

2013 Regina Referendum On Wastewater Plant Funding
A city-wide referendum on a new waste water treatment facility was held in Regina, Saskatchewan on September 25, 2013. The issue of the referendum was whether the facility would be financed through a Public-private partnership (P3) or through the design-bid-build (DBB) approach. The result was 57% against the DBB approach, and the treatment plant ended up being financed by a P3. Petition The campaign to call this referendum started in response of a vote by the city council to finance the new $224-million Wastewater plant through a P3. A group called ''Regina Water Watch'' was created in opposition to this move, and started collecting signatures to force a referendum on the issue. According to the Saskatchewan Cities Act, a referendum must be held if 10% of the municipality's population sign a petition to hold it. By the end of June 2013, the group had amassed 24,000 signatures, above the 19,310 required by law. However, the city clerk's report judged the petition was insuffic ...
