Happy Monday, Regina!
After a weirdly mild stretch (and that little bit of ice yesterday), today feels like a “reset” day, cloudy, breezy, and perfect for planning your week in warm layers. The nice part: the forecast stays pretty manageable for mid-Feb, with sunshine popping back in later this week.
Today’s issue is built for quick decisions. A couple deadlines to flag, a big winter-festival moment to circle, and a pile of solid plans you can copy-paste into your calendar from free library events to theatre nights and Family Day energy.
Pick what works for you, skip the rest, and have a good week out there.
In today’s edition:
❄️ Frost Regina is back (Family Day weekend plans = handled)
🎭 Frozen is on stage in Regina right now
🗓️ Two City grant deadlines to note (this week + next)
🎉 Free Lunar New Year fun at the library
🎶 A ticketed sing-along night that sounds like chaos (in a good way)
📅 20-ish things coming up (week-ahead preview)
News
Frost Regina returns for Family Day weekend
Source : frostregina.com
If you want one easy “yes” for the long weekend, this is it. Frost Regina is back as a multi-day winter festival (Feb 13–16, 2026).
Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
Dates: Feb 13–16, 2026
Cost: Listed as free (with some ticketed/paid components noted)
It’s Regina’s big winter-festival weekend with multiple activities/locations
Plan-ahead note: Some elements may require tickets/entry (details vary by activity)
It’s an easy way to turn “what should we do this weekend?” into an actual plan, especially with Family Day in the mix.
If you’re part of a community group, arts org, or even just “the person who ends up writing grant applications,” two deadlines are coming up fast.
Here’s what’s confirmed:
Cultural Grants: 2026 application deadline is Feb 12, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.
Social Development Grants: 2026 application deadline is Feb 19, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.
City Centre Incentive Program (Storefront Improvement + Tenant Fit-Up): current intake closes Feb 23, 2026 at 4:30 p.m.
These are the kinds of deadlines that sneak up and they fund real, tangible community stuff.
Local Finds of the Week
Frost Regina Brunch at the Centre
What it is: A Frost-branded brunch event at Conexus Arts Centre (with multiple dates listed).
Why it’s worth it: It’s a “lock it in” plan for a winter weekend morning that isn’t just another coffee run.
Where: Conexus Arts Centre
We Will CHOIR You: An Epic Queen Sing-along
What it is: A ticketed Queen sing-along night at Conexus Arts Centre.
Why it’s worth it: It’s basically group karaoke with extra drama (the fun kind).
Where: Conexus Arts Centre
Globe Theatre’s Disney’s Frozen (on now)
What it is: Disney’s Frozen – The Broadway Musical is running in Regina.
Why it’s worth it: It’s the easiest “treat-yourself” winter night — especially if you want a big, polished show without leaving town.
Where: MacCorquodale Place
Free music at the library (RSO Chamber series)
A genuinely good winter hack: free concerts in a warm, familiar space.
Here’s what to know:
RSO Chamber: Free Library Concert Series listing is live on RPL
It’s listed as drop-in (no registration noted on the listing)
Check the listing for dates/branches so you don’t show up to the wrong spot
City Updates
One more reminder: CCIP deadline (Feb 23)
