Prince Albert

Prince Albert is a city in Saskatchewan that sits along the North Saskatchewan River and serves as a gateway to the northern parts of the province. Industrial sites and retail areas define much of the cityscape, while the riverside location provides connections to more remote communities further north.

A Presbyterian missionary established a mission station here in 1866 and named it after Queen Victoria's husband. The settlement grew over the decades into an important hub for trade and supply lines reaching into northern Saskatchewan.

The city maintains a strong Indigenous presence, with nearly forty-five percent of residents identifying as First Nations or Métis people.

A trail network covering more than twenty kilometers runs through the city and offers routes for cycling, jogging, and wheelchair users year-round. The paths connect different neighborhoods and provide a way to see the area along the river and through green spaces.

A city park covers an area larger than many urban green spaces in comparable towns. Visitors can use cross-country ski trails in winter and mountain bike paths through the woods in summer without leaving the city limits.
