Payroll Administrator

**WHO IS REAL?**

Situated in the heart of Regina, the **Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL)** District is the largest interconnected event complex in Canada and is the centre of sport, business, and entertainment for the community. REAL is a not-for-profit municipal corporation, governed by a Board of Directors, that acts as a steward of all assets on the 100-acre property which is owned by the City of Regina. Our history is long standing and began in 1884 when an enthusiastic group of people organized Regina’s first ever agricultural fair.

Since then, we have played host to events large and small and over the years, our main signature events were formed: Queen City Ex, Canadian Western Agribition, Canada’s Farm Show, FROST, and Truth and Reconciliation Day. We are the proud home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Regina Pats, Futbol Club Regina, University of Regina Cougars Hockey, Hockey Regina, and many other recreational sports, concerts, tradeshows, conferences and conventions of all shapes and sizes. Throughout our history, one thing has stayed the same: we build community and we create memorable experiences that last a lifetime.
