The ward is mainly residential, with neighbourhoods dating back to the 1950s. Just over 20,000 people call it home, including a large population of post-secondary students. The ward includes Wascana Park, the Saskatchewan legislature, the University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
The main issue facing those that live and work in the area is traffic, particularly during peak hours around the university and the Ring Road interchange on Wascana Parkway.
