Nothing can more accurately represent the Prince Albert area better than the provincial flag. With green to the north and gold to the south, Prince Albert is at the heart of both agriculture and forestry in Saskatchewan.

The third element of our industry and resource picture is mining and mineral exploration. Where central and southern Saskatchewan has potash, northern Saskatchewan is home to the province’s uranium and diamond exploration.

The next few years hold big things for Prince Albert. A vast kimberlite deposit lies just a short drive to the northeast in the Fort a La Corne forest area. This rare, greenish-grey mineral is the remains of ancient volcanic flows and is the parent material for gem grade diamonds. The future looks sparkling for Prince Albert!

Prince Albert employs a large number of people in the field of provincial and federal corrections. There are six correctional facilities in Prince Albert including a youth centre, the provincial correctional centre, a women’s unit; and federal medium, maximum and minimum security units.
