About Prince Albert

Prince Albert is Saskatchewan’s third-largest city, on the North Saskatchewan River at the edge of the boreal forest. It bills itself as the Gateway to the North: prairie grain country lies south of the river, while lakes and forest stretch toward Prince Albert National Park. A downtown on the riverbank, provincial correctional and service offices, and a large Indigenous population shape the city. About 38,000 people live in Prince Albert.
