NORTH CENTRAL REGINAas an Urban Eco Museum
I can’t begin to tell you how awesome we are! Too many services to show you today, agencies with heart Co-ordination needed to brand our awesomeness
NORTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Pursuing the development and maintenance of a safe,
vibrant and attractive community through
advocacy, partnershipand services.
Other community associations concern themselves with baton twirling classes and scheduling soccer games. At NCCA we hold town hall meetings on gang exit strategies and slum landlords. We host children’s lunch programs and workshops to dissuade teens from prostitution.

In partnership with Community Research Unit, U of R
We know where we came from History Project Website including community heroes (like Jacqui Shumiacher). Site connected to mapping project
NC FUN FACT:
invented in North Central Regina
Girl Guide Cookies were invented in North Central Regina. Guide Leader Christina Riepsamen prepared first batch in her kitchen on the 1300-block Robinson in 1927 for her daughters to sell door-to-door for 10 cents a bag.
OUR FOOTPRINT
The North Central neighbourhood in Regina, covers 183 square blocks and is currently home to over 12,000 residents.
We know where we live. Albert to Lewvan, Railroad tracks to railroad tracks. “There is no wrong side of the tracks.”
IN BRIEF:• North Central’s rich history began with its establishment as an
immigrant and working-class neighbourhood in the late 19th century.
• It has been shaped by both local movements and broader provincial trends, including the development of the CPR, the creation of housing for WWII veterans, and the increasing urban residency of First Nations and Métis people.
• Contemporary North Central suffers from a negative reputation related to crime and violence, and important contributions from the neighbourhood have been obscured by this perception.

A resident puts our neighbourhood into perspective.
Everybody has a RIGHT to live safely.
Because everybody wants to live in a safe and vibrant community. Everybody has a RIGHT to live safely.
Yet this is what many of our children have as a playground

For many, this is day-to-day reality

OUR FUTURE
Let’s reconsider
“WE WILL BUILD OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH LEARNING. AND HEALTHCARE.
AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.”
Where working and learning connect, the first of its kind in Canada.
“Our Mission: to provide services from a shared facility focused on youth and families within a vibrant thriving neighbourhood, in North Central Regina, that is a partnership between community, schools and service providers working collaboratively to improve outcomes in the determinants of health and social well being.” A neighbourhood learning network.

Community ConnectionFarewell Rob Deglau Mr. North Central
My respect for Rob started when he was on our community associa-tion board. We lost our Program Co-ordinator. We desperately needed VRPHERG\�WR�¿OO�WKDW�UROH��5RE�VXJ-gested ‘I would step down from the board and temporarily take over that role.’ And of course the rest is history. We’ve seen this community come together in a way that speaks well for the future. We are seeing wonderful progress in this community and it’s only going to get better. A lot of that success is due to Rob Deglau. Tom Wright
Fomer President, NCCA
+H¶V�GH¿QLWHO\�EHHQ�DQ�DOO\�IRU�WKH�inner city. He speaks and they listen.Jim Elliott, Regina AdvocateAnybody who knows me knows I’m very proud of North Central. It’s where I’ve lived all my life. So if you have a problem with North Cen-tral, you’ll have a problem with me. And I think for Rob in a lot of ways it was the same kind of thing. Over the years North Central has gotten a pretty rough reputation and a lot of bad publicity. But there’s a tremen-dous number of wonderful people who are proud of this community and who continue to come out of this community.Georgina McGee, NCCA Board Member
It’s been an absolute pleasure to know him, not only as a colleague, doing the same type of work, but for the man that he is. There are some people who do their work to the best of their abilities, then there are those who do their work from their heart. And Rob is one of those people. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours.Ann Perry, Executive Director Circle Project
Rob really made North Central a player in the community. He re-ally made things happen. I do lots of projects with the Community Asso-ciation. Rob’s a mentor in terms of somebody who is a community lead-er and is someone who understands community development.Lisa Workman, Aboriginal Com-munity Development Coordinator, Four Directions
“If I can see farther it’s because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.”
We are saying goodbye to the Pied Piper of North Central. A man is probably measured by the relation-ships he builds, more than by what he does. He builds relationships with people from broad spectrums. It has been an absolute delight to get to know you Mr. North Central. We are deeply grateful for the way you have brought a voice to the community of North Central.Ken Watson, Board Member, NCCA
