The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) released a statement on Tuesday to inform the public of the upcoming transition.

“The SHA would like to thank Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) for their partnership and support, which has allowed thousands of individuals to be tested and vaccinated at Evraz Place throughout the pandemic,” the SHA stated.
