Mitakuyé Owâs’ā Centre
Overview
The Mitakuyé Owâs’ā Centre, translating to “all my relations” in the Dakota language, is a place of gathering in Regina’s Heritage neighbourhood. The project included partial demolition and remediation of the old Municipal Justice Building, a new addition, and historical preservation and renovation of the 1930s portion of the building.
The centre includes a kitchen, meeting rooms, common spaces, offices of the Heritage Community Association, a large multipurpose room that doubles as an athletic centre and gathering space, a gym, and training and fitness spaces for the Regina Police Service.
This was a community focused project that required significant consultation with the community in order to design a facility that met the needs of the neighbourhood
