Calling all designers, planners and creative types! Today is the last day to register for the Finding Middle Ground Regina housing competition. You’ll have until November to finalize design. Open to all Canadians. #housing #HAF #designcompetition #infill www.regina.ca/home-propert...

Tabling motion failed. Councillors were not given much time to think through the implications of this provincially drafted act. I'm worried about its adoption on our most vulnerable (as delegations eloquently noted). The unhoused in #yqr must negotiate yet another round of cruel regulations. #yqrcc

The Urban Planning GES 346 Report is now available! Wondering what a youth-friendly Downtown #yqr might look like? Have a read through four excellent undergraduate papers that engage with best practices from other municipalities & offer solutions tailored to Regina. www.uregina.ca/arts/geograp...

@geographers.bsky.social #AAG Detroit was a space for reflection, a crossing of physical/theoretical borders. Delighted to receive the “Pub” award for excellence in scholarship @winebeerspiritsaag.bsky.social speciality group for my article on Planning for Craft Breweries. @uregina.bsky.social

Catching up on yesterday’s meeting of #yqrcc. There was a reconsideration motion for land on Queen St (which was voted down). The land in question is indicated on the first map (red box). I note the range in the NEF 25 zone (which is what ultimately led to half of council voting this down) #yqr 1/

Community Safety & Well Being Plan needs full support to address safety/crime differently (esp. after vote to dissolve Community & Social Impact Regina). Today, I encountered this video on campus. I'm lost for words. RPS is asking for a 2.25% increase this year. Is this approach working? #yqr #yqrcc

Glad to see the fare free pilot for a Regina high school motion pass. Hopefully this pilot allows the city to extend this to all 18 and under in due course! #yqr #yqrcc

From Regina Housing Needs Assessment coming up today at #yqr #yqrcc Regina City Council:

For any Regina students, my craft beer class is being offered again in the winter term! #yqr

It's always hard when a snow storm hits. Today I'm thinking a lot about those sleeping rough, those with mobility issues & public transit users/pedestrians. We need to reprioritize snow clearing/winter emergency plans to better support people. #yqr #yqrcc

My department - Geography & Environmental Studies at the University of Regina is hosting a free public screening of Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics next Monday Nov 25! All are welcome. Short discussion to follow the documentary. #yqr

It was lovely visiting Montreal! Great public spaces & active transportation built into the urban fabric.

Density is coming to our city: A Q&A I put together. #yqr #yqrcc #InclusiveCities #Affordability #HAF #SustainableCities
