The Regina Bar
(Good For 10¢ In Trade)


No mention is made in any directory that Cecil Tannahill viewed of the Regina Bar but an old-timer thought that this was part of the Regina Club which was formed in 1909 as a social club and does appear in the directories until 1916.

In 1964 a real estate syndicate approached the City of Regina with an offer to purchase an entire block on Broad Street, two blocks from the centre of downtown Regina, which was only used for parking and a playground. After much discussion, City Council approval was given for the purchase with the stipulation that the complex built on the site contain an equal amount of parking as was now being provided. The plans presented to Council were for a twenty storey hotel, an enclosed mall and a parkade. The Builder had obtained partial financing and on acceptance of the offer to purchase, construction was started, but was halted in a few months as financial arrangements were at a stalemate. Nothing was done for at least six months because the starting contractor could not obtain suitable financing and it appeared that everything would be abandoned. Another real estate group made an offer on the just started project which was accepted and construction began again but with many changes in the plans. In September of 1967 the complex was opened. The hotel, named the Regina Inn, has 15 storeys, 240 rooms with all but the corner rooms having a balconey. It has convention facilities for up to 1500 people, a swimming pool on the second floor, a steak house, a theatre restaurant, a cocktail lounge and the Captain's Mug, a 400 seat beverage room. The enclosed mall contains seventeen stores and a health spa. There is an underground theatre that seats 800 and the parkade will handle 700 cars. In the summer of 1969 a copper slug was issued for use by the Regina Inn and by Safeway's, and given to patrons using the hotel or purchasing groceries from Safeway's. It was good for one hour's parking which is 25C per hour. In April of 1971 new tokens were issued. Five different tokens are used so that each outlet, as specified on the token, is charged back a portion of the costs of parking.

Lost Return To The Leader, Regina, Sask.
(Good For Half The Price Of Any Want Ad.)


March 1st, 1883, saw the first edition of the Regina Leader, a weekly newspaper. On August 12th, 1890, the masthead was changed to 'The Leader', and on February 7th, 1906 it changed to a daily paper with the masthead still 'The Leader'. On August 2nd, 1920, the Regina Daily Post was taken over by the Leader and the masthead was changed to 'The Morning Leader' for the A.M. edition and for the evening edition it was 'The Evening Post'. On April 7th, 1930, both editions became 'The Leader-Post'. With this in mind it appears that this token was issued sometime between 1906 and August 2nd, 1920. No mention is made of this token in their library or editions of the paper that I have scanned to date. No one on the staff remembers this token.

Three Star Liquor Store E. Foret Scarth St. Regina 478
(Membership Emblem Of The Don't Worry Club Good Luck)


Have talked to several old-timers about this token and one thinks that he paid a $1.00 for the token which gave him the privelege to buy liquor wholesale from the Three Star Outlet. The directories show Ernest Foret at 1706 Scarth St. on March 12th, 1912, wholesale liquor vendor. In May 1914 it lists the warehouse on South Railway and no mention at all in the December 1916 issue.
