Regina has plenty to offer visitors during the 2025 Canoe Kayak Canada Sprint National Championships. On the weekend leading into nationals, you can enjoy popular events like Shake the Lake, I Heart Regina Day, and the Regina Farmers’ Market. If you’re staying after the competition wraps up, don’t miss the legendary Labour Day Classic at Mosaic Stadium—one of the most anticipated events of the year.
For even more ideas, the Tourism Regina website is your go-to resource for up-to-date information on attractions, dining, and activities to make the most of your time in the Queen City (scroll to the bottom for the link).
