HERITAGE DAY CELEBRATED

Released on February 15, 1999

In honour of Heritage Day, Municipal Affairs, Culture and Housing

Minister Carol Teichrob today announced the designation of the former

Regina Telephone Exchange as Provincial Heritage Property.



"The province recognizes the significance of heritage as an integral

aspect of our identity and by designating buildings as heritage

properties celebrates the preservation of our past," Teichrob said.



The designation of the former Regina Telephone Exchange building at

1870 Lorne Street, which is currently owned by Sask Sport Inc.,

commemorates the development of telephone service in Saskatchewan.

The building was designed by the architectural firm of Storey and Van

Egmond and is the oldest known surviving Saskatchewan Government

Telephones' building. Built to replace an earlier Exchange destroyed

in the Regina Cyclone of 1912, it housed one of the first automatic

dial switching stations in Saskatchewan. Its prominent location and

elaborate design, emulating some of the classical details of the

Legislative Building, reflect the pride in the communications system

felt by the people of Saskatchewan.



Heritage Day is observed throughout Canada on the third Monday of

February as an occasion to celebrate Canada's unique identity and

history. In Saskatchewan, it serves to focus attention on the

important role our heritage resources play in providing a

perspective on human and natural history.
