Energy Generation Variations
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions take many forms and result in significantly different effects on the
environment. For example, methane released into the atmosphere is
about 25 times more harmful than carbon dioxide (CO2) as a greenhouse gas. Different types of
energy sources, such as natural gas or gasoline, produce different quantities of GHG emissions. As
with energy, all emissions are converted to a common unit of CO2e or CO2 equivalent. If a vehicle
consumes the average 1700L of gasoline per year it will emit approximately 3.75 tonnes CO2e into
the atmosphere. The Landfill Gas to Energy Facility can remove approximately 30,000 tonnes of CO2e
each year or the equivalent of emissions from 8,000 cars. The following table provides a comparison
of the GHG produced by selected energy sources and demonstrates the GHG impact per unit of energy.
Electricity produces 0.65 CO2e per 1 kwh of energy, while natural gas produces only 0.23 CO2e per
kwh of energy.

that in some way contribute to the release of carbon and other harmful greenhouse gases (GHG) into
the atmosphere. Unless absorbed through natural processes, this blanket of gases in the atmosphere
traps heat and results in climate change. Becoming sustainable requires us to reduce our use and
consumption of GHG-emitting energy sources and to shift to renewable energy sources. To calculate

green or blue cart. Don’t forget to check the Waste Wizard tool to find out where to put your
household waste items. Simply type in the item into the search box and it will tell you which cart
or drop-off location. Will I receive a fine or ticket? No, the postcards are for educational
purposes only and do not come with any fines or tickets! Waste Wizard Type the name of a waste item
and we'll tell you how to recycle or dispose of it. Sort the right Stuff Remember the following:
Keep organics and recyclables loose in the carts. Don’t bag or stack items. Rinse your recyclable
containers. Layer wet or heavy compost. Don’t let your carts overflow. ...

connect them with ongoing community support services. The programming meets individuals where they
are by creating a low barrier, safe and welcoming environment that
supports clients with a coordinated, wrap-around approach. Additional services provided by RT/SIS
include general practitioners, addictions programming (i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics
Anonymous and Crystal Meth Anonymous), one-on-one counselling sessions including referrals to detox
centers and treatment facilities and referrals to mental health therapists. In addition, RT/SIS
makes referrals to other community-based support agencies such as Mental Health Services, Overdose
Prevention, COAST, Coordinated Access Regina, Salvation Army, YWCA Regina, Regina Street Team,
Ministry of Social Services and Mobile Crisis Services Regina. What are the long-term operational
costs to the City for the shelter once it is up and running, and how will they be managed? The
estimated operating costs for utilities, maintenance, security, cleaning and insurance for the
shelter are $30,000 per month. These costs are funded through existing budgets. How will the
success of the shelter be measured and reported to the public? As operator and service provider for
the shelter, RT/SIS monitors data as it relates to community impact and overall success of the
space. RT/SIS reports directly to the Province of Saskatchewan. The Community Well-being branch of
the City of Regina will report back to Council in 2026. How will the City address concerns from
neighbouring businesses and residents about the shelter? A Good Neighbour Plan was created through
a highly collaborative approach that the City led alongside RT/SIS, Fire and Protective Services,
Regina Police Service, Saskatchewan Health Authority, the Regina Street Team and neighbouring
businesses. The Good Neighbour Plan includes processes and resources for handling concerns. The
City is committed to information sharing with stakeholders as the project progresses. Is there a
screening process for checking into the shelter? Upon entering the shelter, individuals must go
through a screening process. During this time, they are required to surrender any prohibited items
to security. Once the screening is complete, a transitional worker will assist residents with
registration and placement into their designated area. Once residents leave the facility, all
personal assets are returned to the resident. Is there any reason a person wouldn’t be allowed to
stay in the shelter? If an individual is unable to stay at the shelter for any reason, RT/SIS staff
will coordinate with other shelters in Regina to help find a suitable placement. Will there be
security? RT/SIS will be operating the shelter and will be responsible for all internal security
services for a 24/7 presence in the building. The building has been designed and constructed to
include security features such as screening rooms, surveillance and utilized Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design principles throughout its creation. How
was this space chosen? City Administration reviewed 94 sites. This space was the best fit for
rapid conversion into a functioning permanent emergency shelter. Are there plans to have more
City-owned permanent shelters in Regina? No, the City only owns New Beginnings and does not have
plans for any more permanent shelters. Frequently Asked Questions
