Regina, are we ready for the next big storm?

It was mostly about the sky this week, eh?

*Tânisi* Regina. Darlene Chicken-Lawson here, giving you the rundown of what we’ve been chatting about this week from City Hall. This is Regina — yeah, we know what it sounds like, and we've heard your joke. Now sit down and listen.

You know, it felt like the big news wasn't actually *inside* the building much of the time. We had our heads turned up, watching the skies and wondering when the rain was gonna let up, or if that hail was gonna come down hard enough to put dents in our beloved Roughrider green vehicles.

Here’s a quick look at what was on our minds:

* The weather, oh for sure, the weather. Heavy rain warnings and hail alerts had everyone talking. * Discussions around storm drainage and infrastructure resilience were quietly happening, sparked by all that wet stuff. * Community chatter about how folks are helping each other out through the spring downpours.

It was a week where the sky dictated a lot more than just our wardrobes, eh? It made us think about how prepared we are for whatever comes next, out here on the prairies.
