North Central Portraits – By Philip Charrier

Philip, who works at the University of Regina, shot a series of portraits of people he met while walking the streets of North Central. A portion of the series is currently on display at the North Central office.

These photographs form part of a larger project, including documenting the changing landscape of Regina’s old, railway-based neighbourhoods. What started as an idea for a magazine article, grew into a plan for a book. “The strength, openness, and kindness of the people I met in North Central, visible in the photographs, encouraged me to separate these images out from the landscapes of streets, back alleys, and individual houses. It seemed right to exhibit them in the neighbourhood where they originated.”

Community Billboard Project – For over 5 years we have been planning to erect an electronic community billboard system that will help us to connect with each and every agency, business, and resident in NorthCentral. In a marginalized neighbourhood such as ours, billboards are a vital communication tool that will showcase the many programs and services available to the residents.  These services include educational and employment opportunities, health programs, and non-profit services as well as a variety of neighbourhood activities. Contact NCCA at 791-9888 for more information.
