Prince Albert is a vibrant and innovative municipality that prides itself on being a family focused community. Situated just minutes from lake country the City of Prince Albert is a recreational paradise that offers all the benefits of big city amenities including access to arts, entertainment and unique cultural experiences. Prince Albert is the proud home of a diverse offering of highly skilled professional sports and recreation organizations, an engaged and growing arts and cultural community and committed and passionate non-profit organizations.
Prince Albert is the third largest City in Saskatchewan and a hub of health care, education, retail and infrastructure servicing upwards of 195,000 people in Prince Albert and central and northern Saskatchewan. We are located in the broad valley of the North Saskatchewan River near the geographical center of the province, where the agricultural prairie of the south and the rich forest belt of the north meet. Much of Prince Albert is built on the sloping south bank of the North Saskatchewan River while the north bank provides a spectacular view of mixed forest, typical of northern Saskatchewan.
Prince Albert also functions as a service, retail and distribution centre for northern Saskatchewan's resource industries - mining, forestry and agriculture. It is anticipated that this function will continually be enhanced by increased northern resource development. A well developed highway system links Prince Albert with surrounding areas. The City is also the focal point for Northern Saskatchewan's railway network.
Located in the heartland of northern Saskatchewan, Prince Albert is located in Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of groups who have called the Prince Albert area home for thousands of years. These Indigenous groups are the Woodland Cree, Plains Cree, Swampy Cree, Dene and the Dakota and Métis Nations. Prince Albert has one of the highest Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) population ratios in any Canadian City.
We are a diverse community with a large Indigenous population, several unique and celebrated cultures, and a growing immigrant population.
