Feature Story: When College Avenue Campus was really home sweet home – and not just for students

Abstract

For several years after World War II, many Regina citizens called College Avenue Campus home – and they weren't just students living in residence. A temporary building constructed during World War II was converted into apartments after the War, and this was home for 20 families until 1955. The building was later converted to classrooms at Regina College. The story begins during World War II, when classes at Regina College were moved to downtown office buildings so the College Avenue Campus could be used as a Training School for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
