Celebrating the intrinsic
value of every person

Rooted in the philosophy of Gentle Teaching, Creative Options Regina (COR) strives to strengthen the fabric of companionship and community for all those we serve.

Join Our Family

Welcome to a Culture of Gentleness

Since our inception in 2009, Creative Options Regina has embraced the philosophy of Gentle Teaching and has asked its caregivers to utilize this alternative approach to supporting people. COR has put aside traditional practices of support such as physical management, restraint and consequences. It does not accept interventions based on the use of reward and punishment designed to modify personally and socially destructive actions.

A culture of gentleness is woven into all aspects of the organization – in the people it hires, how each person is mentored, and in the selection and support of individuals and families. In a culture of gentleness, interactions are warm, welcoming and aimed at nurturing relationships based on equality and interdependence. Our focus is on building a sense of companionship and community with those we serve.

The central purpose of our presence in the lives of others is to nurture, teach and sustain the experience of connectedness, companionship and community.

“Doing things is not the primary purpose of care-giving; being with one another is!”

– John J. McGee, PhD

Love is not a privilege. It’s a human right. ❤️

At the recent Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference, Dr. Karyn Harvey delivered a keynote that challenged all of us to rethink support — and to centre something essential: connection.

Featured on CBC Saskatchewan’s The Morning Edition, Dr. Harvey spoke about loneliness as a public health crisis, the trauma of exclusion, and why safety alone isn’t enough. People deserve real love, real intimacy, real belonging.

Through powerful stories of couples who waited decades for their first “real date,” partners who stood by each other through illness, and individuals whose loneliness left them vulnerable, one message was clear: Connection is prevention. Connection is healing. Connection is a right.

In the news 📰

100 Acts of Kindness, in partnership with StratLab, was recently featured by 620 CKRM - sharing stories of people who give, support, and show up for others without ever expecting recognition.

From moments with Mayor Chad Bachynski, to celebrating volunteers with Football Saskatchewan, handing out hot chocolate, surprising community members with gift cards alongside KSP Technologies, and recognizing people across local businesses and organizations, each one is a reminder of the impact kindness can have.

These moments all point to one thing: kindness is everywhere. 💛
