We're generally just trying to raise some awareness about cool things going on in Regina.- JustinReves, Tourism Regina ambassador

"It's all stuff that I would want to do otherwise or would do otherwise," said Krause. "I've had ablogfor about eight or nine years, so I've kind of been doing this all along."

"It's really fun and you do meet other people who are doing fun things in Regina, too, so it's a really good connecting experience," she added.

Krause most recently attendedWinterruptionand Regina Symphony Orchestra performances. Next she's planning on taking in an upcoming show at the Globe Theatre.

Learning more about Regina

Biallysaid it's a great way to get in touch with what's going on above and beyond what she'd normally know about.

Biallysaid each of the ambassadors have different skills and they showcase events in their own creative ways. Bially, for instance, loves Instagram.

"We're generally just trying to raise some awareness about cool things going on in Regina," said Reves.

He shares videoblogsof everythingfrom Roughriders games to the Queen City Exhibition and the farmers' market.

More to do than you think

Revessaid people in any city can get stuck into the same routine, and start feelinglike there's 'nothing to do' around their community. He said he'sfound that's just not true in Regina.

"For me, I've grown up here born and raised and I found that actually creeping into my life a little bit," he said, "There's actually a lot more going on here than we realizeand this is a fantastic city to be in."

Krause agreedthat the idea of the city being boring is a misconception.

"Regina has so much going for it, so I wish more people would talk about that side of it instead of saying it's boring,because it's not," she said.
