Roxanne enjoys jigging and beading as well as learning the traditional Métis language called Michif.
Presenter Taylor Giroux is a SUNTEP student who will be entering her 4th and final year of her Education degree this fall. Over the past three years with SUNTEP, Taylor is happy to share that she has learned and grown so much, not only in the Education field but also with her understanding and knowledge of her culture and history of Canada. Taylor would like to share with the youth the importance of understanding who you are and where you come from. We need to know who we are, who our ancestors are in order to be proud of who we are.

Regina Public Library opened its first shopping mall location as what was then known as Regent Park Branch in 1966.
Since 1995, Regent Place Branch called 107 Albert Street home, and provided the community with a full-service Library Branch.
In February 2012, the Branch moved into a temporary location in the Regina Market Mall, while a new Regent Place Branch was being designed and built.
