Did you know that 2026 is International Volunteer Year? RUSI has some of the best volunteers, as seen here where a group of dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to inventory on-display artifacts in the exhibit at the Legion Museum. Thank you Kate, Peter and Michael for your help.

If you would like to volunteer with a non-profit like RUSI and care about military history and honouring the Canadian Armed Forces and its members past and present, please reach out to info@rusiregina.ca 💙

PART 2: Last night at our Info Night, Kelsey led us through what has been happening this past year, and what is planned for RUSI Regina’s future, as you can see here in this carousel.

One of those projects are a first phase - a feasibility study - for a Saskatchewan military heritage centre…a project that would partner with a vast number of organizations throughout the province and has already received support from all levels of government.

And Who Wears The Uniform? an oral histories exhibition that opens April 16 and will run first at Cumberland Gallery until May, and then at the RCMP Heritage Centre from June to September.
