context_page_description: Wascana Centre is a 930-hectare urban park built around Wascana Lake in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, established in 1912 with a design from renowned architect Thomas Mawson. The park is designed around the Saskatchewan Legislative Building and Wascana Lake. High-profile features include the University of Regina, Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Conexus Arts Centre, Saskatchewan Science Centre, and CBC Regional Broadcast Centre. Wascana Centre brings together lands and buildings owned by the City of Regina, University of Regina, and Province of Saskatchewan. The park is located immediately south of the city's downtown core, bordered by residential areas on the east, south and west, and on the south-east edge it spills out onto open Saskatchewan prairie along Wascana Creek.
  Wascana lake was created in 1883 by damming Wascana Creek, a low flow seasonal run-off stream, to serve as a reliable water reservoir for the town and railway ... and which residents readily began using for recreation.
context_section_description: Northeast of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building, along the south shore of Wascana Lake, is the United Empire Loyalist Cairn. It was erected in 2004 by the United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada (UELAC) Regina Branch.  The Cairn, with two plaques, was unveiled in June 2005 by the Saskatchewan Lt Governor, Her Honour, the Honourable Dr. Lynda Haverstock during the National UELAC Conference in Regina. the Cairn contains field stones from Saskatchewan homesteads of Loyalist descendants. The third plaque was added in 2014, the 100th Anniversary of the United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada.
