Early Recreation and Sports

Even though the nearest major centre was over 300 miles away, the people of Regina 
found ways to occupy themselves and foster community spirit.  A wide range of outdoor 
activities were enjoyed both competitively and non-competitively.  These included hockey
and curling in the winter, and swimming and "oxen-racing" in the summer.
