    Regina Cyclone (1912)

    The Regina Cyclone was an F4-scale tornado that struck Regina, Saskatchewan on 30 June 1912. It is generally considered the deadliest tornado in Canadian history. It killed 28 people, injured 300, and left about 2,500 temporarily homeless. The tornado also destroyed half the city’s businesses and 200 of its homes, causing at least $1.2 million in damage (roughly $30.5 million in today’s dollars). Rebuilding took two years, while paying off the rebuilding debt took a decade.

    Religion and Spirituality of Indigenous Peoples in Canada

    First Nation, Métis and Inuit religions in Canada vary widely and consist of complex social and cultural customs for addressing the sacred and the supernatural. The influence of Christianity — through settlers, missionaries and government policy — significantly altered life for Indigenous peoples. In some communities, this resulted in hybridized religious practices; while in others, European religion replaced traditional spiritual practices entirely. Though historically suppressed by colonial administrators and missionaries, especially from the late 19th- to mid-20th centuries, many contemporary Indigenous communities have revived, or continue to practice, traditional spirituality.
