chanchal mitruka – arts & sports editor
Hi there, I’m Chanchal! As community editor, I’m proud to oversee this section filled with pieces about events happening locally, embracing the arts, and people coming together to make awesome things happen.
To contribute with us, pick a pitch from the list and send me an email at artsandsports@carillonregina.com. Your own ideas for stories are also very welcome. If you have one, send me an email detailing the topic of your article and the message you are hoping to get across in covering it.
Please also let me know if you will have an image to go with your article, and whether it will be a half-page (550-750 words) or a full-page (950-1,150 words) piece. If you want help finding resources or brainstorming potential interview sources, I am more than happy to assist!
Museums in Regina
It’s easy to move forward into the future without looking back on the past that makes the place we live in what it is. There is so much history waiting to be discovered, especially for people new to the city of Regina.
Take a look at the museums, historical sites, and archives that Regina and surrounding communities have to offer. Let us know what’s out there.
What in the orange is taking place?

Whether you are looking for something to do between classes, an excuse to get out of the house, try out some new menus or just love fall, there is plenty happening around the city.
If you happen to attend an event, try somethink new, and think others would enjoy, let us know!
Book vs. show reviews
Is there a book you are obessed with? And has it, or is it turning into a movie adaptation? Feel to share your thoughts on the adaptions, whether it is through the love for the characters or a compare and contrast of the two.
Contact us about writing a review, and spark the same curiosities in others.
Indigenous artist spotlight
Though there is much more work to be done than just adding a day to the calendar, Truth and Reconciliation day is an important reminder that giving everyone a voice is essential.
As we pass by this day, reach out to an Indigenous musician, visual artist, or creative of any kind to spotlight their work.
Cougars and Rams in action
As textbooks are dusted off and opened again, the university’s athletes have been training hard and looking forward to getting back in action. With so many athletes that are skilled in so many different sports and who are playing lots of games, there comes a lot of good interview and article material! Reach out to a Cougar or Ram and start a conversation, or go to a game and see what it’s all about.
Interview with an artist (series)
Let’s bring attention to the local artists of Regina and area! Regina, as the capital of Saskatchewan, is full of culturally diverse people, and those who wish to show their culture in their passions! Dancers, musicians, artisans, and others bring cultural aspects into their art to represent who they are and where they come from.
For this article:
- Reach out to local artists to find out their inspiration for their art, how they represent their culture and themselves through their mediums, where their art has taken them (have they shown their art in competitions, galleries, been hired by the city or organizations to create art for them, and more!), and where they hope to go from here.
