The annual New Year’s Day celebration at the Government House in Regina is being postponed in an announcement made by Lt.-Gov. Russ Mirasty on Tuesday.
“To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and to support public health guidelines, we’ve decided to postpone our New Year’s Day celebration,” Mirasty said in a press release.
“We will monitor the evolving situation and consider hosting a safe event at a later date.”
The celebration dates back to 1884 and continued until the 1970s. It was brought back in 1985 and has been going on for the past 35 years.
