This modern, 222-suite retirement residence, represents a $67 million investment in seniors living in Regina. It is designed to help older adults age in place.

"Green Falls Landing is an important milestone for Revera's strategic growth; it also brings to life our commitment to choice, independence and innovation for seniors. I am delighted to see that Green Falls Landing has quickly become a vibrant, exciting place to live; one that will be an important and integrated part of the broader Regina community."
"Revera Green Falls Landing is a wonderful addition to our community," says Hon. Christine Tell, Minister of Corrections and Policing, and MLA, Regina Wascana Plains. "It offers state of the art amenities and residences for our senior citizens to live in and enjoy."
"It is very exciting to welcome Green Falls Landing to Regina," said Mayor Michael Fougere. "We know there is a substantial need in our city for supportive living that allows seniors to age in their home, and an investment of this scale demonstrates a real commitment to the community."
"We've created more than 50 full- and part-time jobs at Green Falls Landing and I am so excited to lead the team that is welcoming our residents," says Melissa Gustafson, Executive Director.
