Prince Albert is the third-largest city in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is situated in the centre of the province on the banks along the North Saskatchewan River.
The city is known as the "Gateway to the North" because it is the last major centre along the route to the resources of northern Saskatchewan.
Prince Albert National Park is located just 51 km north of the city and contains a huge wealth of lakes, forest, and wildlife.
The city itself is located in a transition zone between the aspen parkland and boreal forest biomes.
Prince Albert National Park
Prince Albert National Park protects a slice of the ‘boreal’ forest. It is also a meeting place or transition zone between the parkland and the northern forest.
The park features many outstanding natural wonders and cultural treasures, including the only fully protected white pelican nesting colony in Canada,
the isolated, lakeside cabin of conservationist Grey Owl and a free-ranging herd of plains bison.
