Residents Invited to Annual Ladybug Release!

The City of Regina is pleased to announce that the ladybug event is back for 2024. Over 200,000 ladybugs will be available for children, families and residents to release. Come learn more about ladybugs and what they do to help keep our trees and plants healthy:

Thursday, July 11

9:30 to 11 a.m.

West side of Victoria Park, across from Central Library

Residents can release the ladybugs in Victoria Park or take them home to release in backyards or neighbourhood parks. With their appetite for aphids, mites and other garden pests, ladybugs act as natural predators, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. By introducing these insects again this year, the City aims to continue with options for more organic and sustainable pest control.

Face painting will be offered by Wild Magic Face Art, as well as other kids’ activities and games. Ladybug-themed attire is welcome and encouraged! Ladybugs and treats will be available while quantities last.

Daycares, preschools and their chaperones can ride public transit for free! Participants can tell the driver they are heading to Victoria Park for the ladybug event. Visit transitlive.com or call 306-777-RIDE (7433) for information on transit stops and schedules. 

Accessible parking and washrooms are also available.
