The Record · Regina Civic Wire

Regina just spent a whole week talking housing and howling winds.

## You're not going to believe our week at City Hall, eh?

This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

*Tânisi* Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, giving you the rundown of what we’ve been chatting about this week from City Hall. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, you know?

### Homes and Howling Winds

Honestly, it feels like we spent half the week talking about housing, eh? Council and committees, they just keep circling back to how we're gonna make sure everyone has a good place to lay their head. It's an ongoing *iskotêw*, a real hot topic, that's for sure.

And then, wouldn't you know it, the weather decided to join the conversation. We had some pretty wild warnings come through — not just a little prairie breeze, but serious stuff. It was the kind of week where you needed to bundle up and keep an eye on the sky, eh?

* Housing affordability and availability were big on the agenda. * Multiple, serious weather warnings kept us all on our toes. * City Hall is trying to figure out how to keep us all safe and sound.

So, from folks trying to find a home to those battling the elements, it’s been a week of keeping an eye on what matters most to us Reginans.

This is Darlene Chicken-Lawson, and you're listening to the Morning Wire. For more of my prairie wisdom, check out mornings.live.
