Grey Cup leaves its mark on Regina
Reynolds said the Team Party rooms at the festival were at capacity on Saturday night with more than 10,000 people.
“There’s emotions, because you’re sort of sad that it’s over, we’ve been talking about it so long, we’ve been looking forward to it for so long, but you’re also just so overwhelmed that it went so well and people enjoyed themselves.”Tim Reid, president and CEO of the Regina Exhibition Association Ltd. , said it was a great week, and that it was the largest event Regina has hosted since the beginning of the pandemic.
“From an employment standpoint it meant that hotels were full and bars were full. From a REAL standpoint, it was the largest month of employment that we’ve had since 2019.”“It was a great tourism month, it was a great economic development month, but most importantly, I think it was a great time to celebrate Saskatchewan and invite the rest of Canada here to do the same,” Reid said.
He said the highlight event for him during the week was when all the buildings were at capacity on Saturday night, noting that one site had 24,000 people. Reid said that November is probably the busiest month they’ve had this year, and that it’s nice to see the district get busy again.
