CBC's Morning Edition spotlight on Regina's Eastview Neighbourhood

The Morning Edition is shining a spotlight on Regina's Eastview neighbourhood.

Eastview is in Regina's northeast. It's a little neighbourhood, less than one square kilometre,nestled in a mainly industrialarea.

It'sbordered by the Ross Industrial Lands to the north of Ross Avenue, the Ross Industrial Lands to the southof the CPR rail line, Ross Industrial Lands to the east of McDonald Street, and the Warehouse District to the west of Winnipeg Street.

Denis Simard is the Manager of the Eastview neighbourhood Centre. He lives just 10 houses away from the centre. Since Eastview is surrounded by industrial area, he says"you get the impression you are in a little village in the middle of the rest of the city."Simardsays a lot of people know eachother and it makes for a good sense of community just like inGravelbourgwhere Simard grew up.
