Professional publishers in Saskatchewan organized informally in the early 1980s as a mechanism to collaborate on promotional activities. This collaboration appears to have been ad hoc in nature involving occasional association with the Prairie Publishers Group which represented publishers from the three prairie provinces. The first step toward the formation of the Saskatchewan Publishers Group appears to have taken place in March, 1986 with the opening of a bank account in the Group's name.

The Commission of Inquiry into the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) was ordered by Gary Lane, Minister of Saskatchewan Justice, on March 20, 1990 pursuant to the Public Inquiries Act and Order-in-Council 267/90. The Honorable Russell L. Brownridge, former Justice of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's Bench and Court of Appeal, was appointed Commissioner on March 20, 1990. Gary Semenchuck was named Inquiry counsel.

The original mandate of the STC Inquiry was to inquire into and report on allegations that officers of STC obtained money improperly in connection with the purchase of motor coaches by STC from Eagle Bus Manufacturing Inc; to examine allegations that money obtained from the purchase of motor coaches by STC from Eagle was to be used for political purposes in Canada; to examine purchasing practices at STC, particularly with Eagle; and to examine accounting methods used by STC, with emphasis on transactions with Eagle.

On July 20, 1990, the Inquiry's mandate was expanded to include an examination of management systems and procedures at STC with particular reference to major expenditures for construction or renovation of facilities, expenses incurred by senior management and the use of corporate credit cards by senior management.

Public hearings were scheduled to begin on September 10, 1990 in Regina, Saskatchewan but were adjourned when lawyers for former STC president Donald Castle and STC vice-president Darrell Lowry launched a court action challenging the jurisdiction of the Inquiry in August. On September 15, 1990, Court of Queen's Bench Justice William Matheson quashed the Inquiry, declaring it unconstitutional.

Although Justice Minister Lane said the Province would likely appeal the decision, an appeal was not filed and the STC Inquiry never resumed activity.

The Regina Boat Club was established in 1907 in Regina, Saskatchewan as a private boating and yachting club for men. The first meeting was held on June 15, 1907 at City Hall. Charles E. Wood chaired the meeting and A.C. Barrett served as secretary. On June 20, a second meeting was held to determine entrance fees, membership dues, and classes of membership. Club officers were selected, including two patrons (the Lieutenant Governor and Premier of Saskatchewan); a honourary president (F.W.G. Haultain); a president (Charles E. Wood); a vice-president (J.A. Wetmore); a secretary-treasurer (F.G. Wheat); and a committee of five. The committee was responsible for the general management of the Club's social and financial affairs and for enforcing the by-laws and house rules.

Initial plans for a boathouse and clubhouse were drawn up by E.N. Storey, a Regina architect. In 1908, the City of Regina funded the construction of a diving platform and the driving of piles to support a clubhouse. In 1909, a clubhouse was built on the north side of Wascana Lake.

By 1910, membership in the Regina Boat Club had grown to 186 and rowing had been introduced. The Club held its first annual Dominion Day Regatta on July 1, 1910. Events included canoe races, four-oared shells, motor boat races, skiff races, ladies' sculling, swimming, diving and lifesaving competitions.

On June 30, 1912, a tornado (the Regina Cyclone) destroyed the clubhouse and the majority of the Club's equipment. After this disaster, the clubhouse was rebuilt on the southeast corner of Wascana Park and a boathouse was built. The Regina Boat Club was incorporated on August 23, 1912 whereupon it became a general aquatic club.

During the First World War, the Club lost many members but strived to remain active. Following the War, the Club tried to expand its appeal by purchasing workboats and four-oared shells to supplement its existing canoes and sailboats.

In 1924, the Club began to allow women's rowing. From 1931 to 1932, the Club's activities were interrupted when Wascana Lake was drained in August 1930 for the construction of the Albert Street Bridge and Willow and Goose Islands. The Club re-commenced activity in 1933 with more than 200 members and saw the publication of its first official newsletter, The Water Log.

The Club was inactive during the Second World War as most of its male members had enlisted for service. In 1947, the Club moved into a new two-storey clubhouse on Willow Island made from surplus army huts. In 1949, the Regina Boat Club hosted its first North Western International Rowing Association Regatta at Regina Beach. The Club experienced continued growth throughout the 1950s, reaching its largest membership of more than 400 in 1959.

In 1962, the Regina Boat Club disbanded after weed-growth prevented the operation of boats on Wascana Lake. The Club's home on the north island was ceded to the Wascana Centre Authority for development and was demolished in 1964. In August 1971, the Wascana Centre Authority erected a stone cairn commemorating the Regina Boat Club near the original clubhouse location on the north shore of Wascana Lake.

In 1974 the Regina Boat Club was reorganized into the Regina Rowing Club in anticipation of the 1975 Western Canada Summer Games, held in Regina.

Wascana Lodge No. 2 of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, a fraternal organization, was in existence in Regina, North-West Territories. In 1894, officers of the North-West Mounted Police (N.W.M.P.) that were members of Wascana Lodge No. 2 met to discuss the formation of a Masonic Lodge strictly for N.W.M.P. members on July 6, 1894. By October 1, 1894, N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 61 was instituted in Regina with Bro. Robert Belcher as its first Worshipful Master. A Lodge room was organized and furnished on the N.W.M.P. barracks. The N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 61 received its Charter on September 5, 1895.

With membership solely drawn from officers of the N.W.M.P., Lodge support and activity fluctuated with officers' calls of duty. Membership in the Lodge grew steadily until 1897 when officers were called away for patrol duty in the bustling Klondike region. The Boer War also called members away from the Lodge to serve in South Africa. Membership numbers gradually rebounded for a brief period between 1901 and 1903 before members were again posted away from Regina to patrol the vast prairie during the pioneer settlement. The dispersal of officers involved in the Lodge was so significant that activity in the Lodge was dormant from March 1904 until April 1906.

A motion was passed at a Lodge meeting of April 27, 1906 to surrender the Charter and disburse Lodge furniture and monies, putting the Lodge in jeopardy of folding completely; however, this motion was cancelled at the May 16, 1906 meeting. On August 9, 1906, N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11 was initiated and chartered. The newly renamed Lodge moved from the N.W.M.P. barracks to the Masonic Lodge on Scarth Street and began accepting civilian members. Soon, membership grew from sixteen to fifty members. Worshipful Brother E.J. Wright was elected the Lodge's first civilian Worshipful Master in 1907.

N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11, along with the other five Masonic Lodges in Regina, proposed the construction of a new Masonic Temple in 1923. The architect for the new Temple was Frank H. Portnall, a member of N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11. The first meeting held by N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11 in the new Temple was on November 16, 1926.

Special events organized by N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11 include “Police Night” first organized by Worshipful Master Bro. R.A. Tate in 1928. This event became an annual tradition for the Lodge, as did annual “Father and Son” evenings. Celebrations were held to mark the Lodge's 50th and 100th anniversaries in 1944 and 1994, respectively. As well, the Lodge has marked important milestones in the history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

In 1959, Regina Lodge No. 211 was formed from members of N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11. Regina Lodge No. 211 existed until 1995 when it amalgamated back with N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11.

N.W.M.P. Lodge No. 11 continues (2005) to hold meetings on the third Tuesday of each month at the Masonic Temple, 1930 Lorne Street, Regina.
