I was not expecting to find a Glockenspiel in Regina, but there it was, right at the edge of Victoria Park in downtown.
The Regina Multicultural Council purchased the Glockenspiel from Germany in 1985 and gifted it to the city in 1988. It became part of the city’s civic art collection.
The Glockenspiel was taken down in 2010 during the construction of City Square Plaza, repaired and restored (for the lofty sum of CDN$350,000), then reinstalled in 2020. Its bells chime twice a day, six days a week.
In case you were wondering what it sounds like, you can listen to its chiming in this video
