Trees
Amur Maple is an incredibly colourful tree. As summer turns to fall, its bright green leaves turn
fiery red. This tree is perfectly suited for urban environments. Its
small size allows you to plant it in city yards and beneath power lines. Amur maple can also
tolerate urban pollution, moist to dry conditions and is not affected by soil type or pH. Toka
Plum/Prunus domestica ‘Toka’ Tree Donation Program To support our Urban Forest, The Forestry Bylaw
was amended to allow residents to plant trees on City property. Please view the documents below to
learn more about planting trees on City property. Planting trees on City property is subject to the
application process and by approval of the City. Please email a completed application to
PRCSAdmin@regina.ca. The applicant will be contacted with the final decision on the request. Tree

Planting Specifications Tree Banding Tree banding keeps fall and spring cankerworms from laying
their eggs in the crown of the tree. Band your elms, Manitoba maples and fruit trees each spring
and fall to reduce the amount of cankerworms. To band your tree: Purchase fibreglass insulation (15
to 20 cm wide), plastic wrap or black garbage bags, duct tape and some type of sticky substance
(axle grease, Tanglefoot, Stick-em) Wrap a strip of fibreglass insulation around the trunk about 1
to 2 metres above the ground. Cover the insulation with plastic and secure with duct tape. Cover
the plastic with your sticking agent. Regularly re-apply your sticking agent and remove debris to
ensure effectiveness. Remove your band after mid-May and again in mid-November to keep your tree
bark in good shape. Save the insulation for the next banding season. Pruning Your Trees Trees, when
mature, should have a strong straight trunk and a full crown with well-spaced branches. Pruning
helps achieve this growth pattern. Pruning depends on the age of your tree: Newly planted tree:
Only prune dead or broken branches since the tree needs all of its branches and leaves to grow in
its new location. Year 2: Prune branches to develop a strong central leader. If present, prune and
remove co-dominant leader. Years 3-4: Begin regular pruning. Years 5-7: By this time, your tree
should be healthy and shaped properly from previous pruning. To stay healthy, regularly remove dead
or damaged limbs. Keep the tree’s outline tidy by pruning back long branches. If you wish, you can
remove bottom limbs if you want to walk underneath the tree. Special pruning considerations for
certain tree species: Prune deciduous ornamental trees every three to four years. ...
Food & Yard Waste
ns by a substantial 10,820 tonnes per year. That's equivalent to taking 2,352 cars off the road
each year! Join us in making a positive impact on our environment.
Green carts have resumed bi-weekly collection schedules Food and Yard Waste Driven by valuable data
and insights gathered from our pilot participants, this citywide service not only conserves
landfill space but also champions a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The collected material
undergoes processing to create a usable product – nutrient-rich compost! Weekly green cart
collections (April-October) and biweekly collections (November-March) ensure a convenient and
eco-friendly approach to waste management. This service goes hand in hand with backyard composting,
as it accepts a broader range of items, including meat and dairy products. ...

Traffic Engineering Provide a safe, efficient and environmentally
sustainable traffic system for the movement of people and goods on City streets. Establish and
maintain technical credibility in preparing and reviewing transportation improvement plans with
Council, Committees of Council, Community Associations and the general public. Develop and maintain
the Traffic Bylaw to be legally sound and enforceable. Improve the transportation system through
changes to traffic signals by installing new signals, changing signal phasing, signal timing, and
progression to improve traffic flow and safety. Prepare parking plans which ensure traffic
operations efficiencies and reflect the needs of neighbouring residences, business operators and
institutions. Ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of all traffic control signs, pavement
markings, expressway lighting and streetlights. Develop and maintain plans and systems to ensure a
safe and accessible environment for all road users including
vehicular, pedestrian and micro mobility (bicycles and e-scooters). Maintain the Red Light Camera
Program which now includes rolling right turn on red light and the Automated Speed Enforcement
Program. Adopted a Vision Zero approach to road safety in 2024 with the goal to reduce all injuries
and fatalities on the road network. Lead and coordinate countermeasures to achieve this goal which
are spread across many internal and external stakeholders. Implement the internal countermeasures
that include but are not limited to traffic calming, enhanced pavement markings, pedestrian
crossing upgrades, traffic signal upgrades, community safety zones, and safety/educational
campaigns. Temporary Traffic Control Manual Residential Road Renewal Program Rules of the Road Road

and organizations takes your impact further. Buy local Supporting local businesses and producers is
not only good for the economy but also for the environment. By
buying locally sourced products and groceries, you can significantly reduce the carbon footprint
associated with transportation. Check out the Regina farmers' market, local craft fairs and local
shops to purchase seasonal produce and local products. Get involved in community groups Joining
community groups and organizations is a great way to connect with others and make a positive impact
in the community. There are opportunities to get involved in local initiatives you are passionate
about, take on new volunteer opportunities and support advocacy campaigns to help shape the future
of our city. Participate in workshops and events Find opportunities to attend events and workshops

matter? The bad news: Climate change is an unprecedented threat to global social, economic, andenvironmental systems. It endangers human health, public safety,
infrastructure, and livelihoods, as well as the world's biodiversity and ecosystems. As the earth
continues to warm due to human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the frequency and severity of
these dangers grow. The good news: Communities around the world, including Regina, are working
together to reduce emissions that contribute to these dangers. How Climate Change is Impacting
Regina Regina has already started to experience the impacts of climate change, with an increase in
average temperatures, more days over 30°C in the summer, and wetter springs and winters. With these
changes, there is an increased risk of extreme weather events, including longer and more intense
heat waves and flash floods. In the summer of 2021, during the development of the Energy &
Sustainability Framework, Regina experienced what is thought to be the worst drought on record for
the region, severe flooding due to heavy rainfall, and air quality warnings due to wildfires in
northern Saskatchewan. According to the Climate Atlas of Canada, Regina can continue to expect
increases in average temperature, increases in the number of extremely hot days (over 34˚C), and
increased variability in rainfall patterns.

Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Climate change mitigation means addressing the causes of
climate change. This involves reducing GHG emissions to slow, stop, and even reverse the effects of
climate change. Climate change adaptation means addressing the impacts of climate change we are
seeing now and will see more of in the future. This involves improving the ability of natural and
human systems to be strong in the face of actual and expected climate change impacts like extreme
heat events, flooding, and stronger storms. The City of Regina is taking action to reduce the
impacts of climate change and to adapt and prepare for a warmer, wetter, and more unpredictable
future. Our Community Emissions The first step to creating our path to net zero was to measure and
understand the community’s emissions. To do this, a “baseline” year – 2016 – was selected based on
a number of factors such as available data. Then, all current plans and policies were projected to
estimate their impact on our community emissions until the year 2050. In 2016, Regina’s community
emissions in 2016 were more than 5 million tonnes with no signs of decreasing. This picture charts
our projected community emissions without a coordinated plan, which does not look good for the
planet, or communities or economy. ...
