Saskatchewan's forests help define Prince Albert, a scenic and vibrant city on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. That scenery is a combination of the grain fields to the south and the forests to the north. Prince Albert is an important centre for the province's forestry industry. Modern Prince Albert was founded in 1866 by Rev. James Nisbet who named the settlement after the husband of Queen Victoria.
Downtown Prince Albert is a hub where culture, history and business meet. The city offers a variety of attraction and events. Major city events include Prince Albert Exhibition, Founder's Day, the Prince Albert Powwow and Tapestrama. Here you find history, museums, galleries, the story of three prime ministers and excellent choices in dining, accommodation and services.
For recreation Prince Albert residents turn to a fine network of city parks. Just beyond the city, the northern forest beckons. The great recreation areas of Prince Albert National Park and Anglin, Emma and Christopher Lakes are a short drive away.
