History of the Seniors’ University Group
In Spring 1977, a group of seniors approached the University of Regina about the feasibility of providing courses to test the demand for non-credit learning for seniors. There was a demand, alright. Nearly five decades later, Regina and area adults aged 50+ are still eager to learn, and SUG is eager to help.

I have been writing my Memoirs during the past 4 to 5 years and have received invaluable help from attending the class which is now titled "Writing Memoirs and Creative Stories." I love listening to the stories told by the other members of the class.
