Résumé
"This report paints a picture of the Regina community, focusing on the people who live in the capital city of Saskatchewan. Using numbers and statistics, it helps residents to gain a sense of who their neighbours are, what the community looks like now, and how it has changed in recent years. Giving the community clear and understandable information is one of the most effective tools to help individuals and organizations address issues and meet the challenges of the future. To that end, the information is presented in a way that is as understandable as possible for individuals who may not be comfortable using statistics. The information presented here is descriptive, without adding any more narrative than is necessary to explain and interpret the statistics. In drawing the information to be included in the report, an attempt has been made to strike a balance, neither focusing too much on problem areas nor ignoring them all together. This is the fifth “Focusing on People” report; the first one was published in 1992 and the most recent one in 2004. The report presents a brief overview of characteristics in several categories. There is considerably more information available in each of these areas; readers are encouraged to follow up on topics in which they are interested."--Includes text from page 1.
