  Hi Del, thanks for the comment. While we don't have any events planned for Regina in our current event schedule, it's something we'll look at for our next round of events. We always try to get to as many places in Canada as we can, and we hope that we can add a few stops in Manitoba and Saskatchewan to our list in the near future.
