A fun Saturday stroll in Regina almost turned into a disaster when a cat in a backpack rolled into a creek.
Hilary Pradinuk was walking with her nine-year-old Bengal cat, Felix, in a cat backpack. She stopped near Wascana Creek around 11 a.m., took the backpack off and set it next to a large tree. A few moments later, Felix was trying to turn around in the backpack, and it started to roll down a hill with the cat still inside it.

Members of the Legislative Assembly went back and forth during Tuesday’s question period on a request from NDP Finance Critic Trent Wotherspoon for government to remove the provincial sales tax on construction labour.
Wotherspoon believes this is a solution that could stop the economy from being held back during a crucial time when people need to get back to work.
The MLA for Regina Rosemont pointed to a Statistics Canada report released Tuesday which shows Saskatchewan has the worst record in the country when it comes to new building permit numbers.
“We are the only province to see a decline year over year in the value of building permits, which is after years of losses in this industry,” Wotherspoon said.
“That this Assembly supports the government’s agriculture value-added strategies as highlighted in our provincial growth plan, recognizing that it will support Saskatchewan in both our short-term economic recovery as well as its role in ensuring the long-term prosperity of the province.” Mr. Cockrill
Mr. Speaker, thank you for recognizing me and I appreciate the opportunity to rise in this House today to bring forward a motion which I will be formally moving at the conclusion of my remarks here today.
Mr. Speaker, before moving to Saskatchewan I had the opportunity to work for a number of years in the agriculture sector in British Columbia. Working in both the greenhouse and the field vegetable sectors gave me the opportunity to see a number of different operations. At both of the operations where I worked, we worked relentlessly to capture more and more of the value chain to make our operations more profitable.
