Life in The Country has a steady, comfortable pace. Whether it’s a regular weekday or a slower
weekend, the blend of small-town convenience and quick access to the city makes it easy to
settle into a routine that suits your lifestyle. With public schools, local grocery stores, community
events, and small businesses all nearby, Lumsden makes everyday errands and routines feel
easy and close to home.
Here is what a typical day might look like when you call The Country home.
A Comfortable Weekday Routine
The day often begins with a coffee at home or a stop at Jane Dough’s Bakehouse. Many
residents start the morning with a walk through town or one of the nearby trails. It is a quiet and
scenic way to ease into the day.
Parents have several good options when it comes to school. In Lumsden, families can walk or
drive just a few minutes to Lumsden Elementary School or Lumsden High School. For those
looking for French immersion, Catholic education, or other specialized programs, schools like
École Centennial, Michael A. Riffel Catholic High School, and Winston Knoll Collegiate are
located on the edge of Regina, just over 20 minutes away.
For those who work in the city or need to make a trip into Regina, the commute is short and
reliable. In about 20 minutes, you can be at the office, running errands, or shopping at major
stores like Costco, which is about 35 minutes from Lumsden. But if you’re staying local, the
Lumsden Supermarket and other small shops in town make it easy to pick up groceries and
essentials without the need to drive into the city.
After School and Evenings in the Community
When the school day ends, there are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby. Families often spend
time outdoors playing sports, exploring the walking trails around town, or checking out any of
the numerous local parks in the town, one of which being right in the Country! Wascana Trails, a
popular local spot just 15 minutes from Lumsden, offers great trails for hiking and cross-country
skiing in the winter.
Dinner might be enjoyed at home, followed by an ice cream from Sweet Treats Ice Cream
Shoppe in the warmer months. Evenings tend to be relaxed and familiar, whether you’re
spending time in the backyard, visiting neighbours, or just enjoying the peace and quiet that
comes with being a little farther from the city.
Weekends Close to Home or in the City
Weekends in The Country offer flexibility. Some people take a short drive into Regina to shop,
visit family, or attend events. Others choose to stay close to home and enjoy what Lumsden has
to offer.
Families often take advantage of the walking paths, visit local shops, or spend time outdoors. In
the summer, Regina Beach is a popular destination just 20 minutes away, offering an easy
escape for a day by the water. Lumsden also has a full calendar of seasonal activities, including
popular events like the Scarecrow Festival and the Duck Derby, where thousands of rubber
ducks float down the Qu’Appelle River through the centre of town. These events bring the whole
community together and give you a real sense of what it means to live here.
Living in The Country means having options without being overwhelmed. You are surrounded by
natural beauty, supported by a small-town community, and still connected to everything in the
city when you need it. Whether it is a weekday filled with errands or a weekend of fresh air and
familiar faces, life here has a way of making space for what matters most.
