Regina is a city in Saskatchewan, Canada. Its industry was originally largely confined to activities associated with its agricultural hinterland. Latterly oil and natural gas, potash, kaolin, sodium sulphite and bentonite have contributed a great part of Regina and area's economy. The farm and agricultural component is still a significant part of the economy but it is no longer the major driver of the economy; provincially it has slipped to eighth overall, well behind the natural resources sectors. The Innovation Place Research Park near the University of Regina hosts several science and technology companies.
Regina's major industries include:
- major call centres
- telecommunications
- insurance and data management centre
- agricultural chemicals and services and
- oil and gas exploration.
Regina has also experienced a boom in film and video production. Several feature films, weekly TV programs, and documentaries are shot in and around Regina. Examples are CTV's "Corner Gas" and the 2005 movie "Just Friends".
