Wascana Marsh
is a thriving 223 hectare marshland located within Wascana Centre
in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Its existence dates back to 1913
when a planner had the foresight to establish the Wascana Game
Preserve. Part of the preserve became a federal migratory bird
sanctuary in 1956 and still remains an important migration stopover
site for over 115 species of birds. Today this area is known as
the Wascana Waterfowl Park.
