“Our city can use this addition to bring kids to the community, and of course will be something for the ones that currently live here,” Head said. “I’m quite excited to see this addition and I can’t wait to see it come to fruition.”
The idea to have this recreation activity indoors is also very appealing to Mayor Greg Dionne.
“It’s another entertainment activity for the kids indoors,” Dionne told
paNOW. “It’s another amenity that we’ll have in our city that other cities have, that we don’t. That is why it’s exciting.
“It will be another thing you can do in our community when you are looking for something to do on a rainy day.”

Prince Albert Daily Herald
Michael Oleksyn/Daily Herald The members of the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) Women s Council unveiled the MMIWG monument on Prince Albert s riverbank on Wednesday afternoon.
After two years of work, the PAGC unveiled the new Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Monument on Prince Albert’s riverbank Wednesday afternoon. The project was a collaborative effort spearheaded by the PAGC Women’s Council to help bring more awareness to the cause.
Women’s Council chairperson Shirley Henderson was pleased to see the work finally completed.
“It means a lot,” she said. “We are just so delighted and so happy to have this for our families to come to, and have a place for us to pray and worship. They can smudge. There is going to be a smudge bowl here and at night, we are going to put lights on it so it shines at night, so if they want to come here at night it will be well lit up.”
PRINCE ALBERT Prince Albert’s mayor is asking the province to create mandatory bike helmet legislation, which would make Saskatchewan one of the last Canadian provinces to require helmets for cyclists. Prince Albert City Council is in the process of creating a new bike bylaw, but helmets will only be mandatory for riding electric bikes. Mayor Greg Dionne argues the city can’t enforce helmets for all cyclists, with so many people coming from other cities and for the cost of putting up signs to inform people of having to wear helmets. “Why you can’t do it by yourself is we’re a tourism centre, so tourists come, they bring their bike, they don’t have helmets. We stop them, say ‘You’ve got to have a helmet.’ That’s going to deter them,” he said.
