The newly renamed Buffalo Meadows Pool on June 17, 2021. (Mattea Columpsi/980 CJME) In his mother tongue, Brad Bellegarde welcomed those in attendance to the Buffalo Meadows Park and Buffalo Meadows Pool renaming ceremony Thursday. “It is a step towards having a dialogue based on reconciliation,” said Bellegarde, the City of Regina’s cultural diversity and Indigenous relations adviser. For many years, the recreational area was named after Edgar Dewdney, a historical figure with harmful ties to the Indigenous Peoples. The name Buffalo Meadows was chosen as a reference to the history of the land and the importance of the buffalo to the First Nations people who lived in the grasslands, travelling and following the animal.
