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.

There are 22,000 storm drains in Regina. Every year, those drains keep roads clear and protect properties when storms hit.
In an initiative aimed at keeping the community engaged, the City is asking you to adopt a storm drain and show it some care by keeping it free of debris that could flow into Wascana Creek.
Kurtis Doney is the City’s Director of Water, Waste and the Environment. He says you can adopt the drain for one, three or five years. He thinks this is a way to have some fun and stay engaged with the community.
