The capital of Saskatchewan Province, once a barren prairie, is now drowning in the lush greenery of gardens and parks. From the time the community was founded, townspeople tried to make it a green space, planting trees and building floodplains. Thus, over time, Lake Vascana appeared in the region of Raejana. A natural reservoir was created by the construction of a dam on the Cascana Creek. During the winter season, local residents use it as a skating rink. Its a lively and lively time of year.

The city, founded in 1882, was named for the Queen Victoria of England. It was built as the new capital of the Northwest Territories. The name of the city comes from the Latin word regina, which means queen. In 1885, the citys Charente was the site of the governmental forces to fight the Northwest Revolt, which had been organized by Louis Reuelle. The leader of the Canadian Métis fought against the colonization of the area by the Anglicans.

Réjeanne became the capital of the Saskatchewan province in May 1906. Six years later it was badly damaged by the war. During the Great Depression, the citys economy was in decline. Its revival began in the 1970s. Today, Rajaianna is a large city. The area is rich in deposits of dirt, salt, natural gas, oil, and agriculture, where crops and cattle are grown. The city is also home to agro-processing companies and the main office of a major steelmaking company.
