Hundreds of school children in Regina, Saskatchewan, participated in Public Works Day, gaining firsthand experience of the city's public works operations. The event took place at the public works yard, where students interacted with heavy equipment used for vital services such as snow removal and the maintenance of water and sewer lines. Regina Mayor Chad Bachynski highlighted the significance of the event in educating young residents about municipal services and the behind-the-scenes efforts that keep the city running smoothly. He noted the importance of patience among residents as the city addresses various infrastructure projects. To assist with this, the city has developed an online construction map that informs residents about ongoing construction activities and helps them plan their routes accordingly. Additionally, Mayor Bachynski has declared this week as Public Works Week, recognizing the hard work and dedication of the approximately 600 employees in the Public Works Department who ensure the city's infrastructure operates effectively.
