History The Prince Albert area has been a gathering place and centre for trade and commerce for thousands of years.

When the first European explorers and traders ventured into the region it was documented that the area was called Kistahpinanihk, the Cree name for meeting or gathering place.

In 1862, English Métis farmer and HBC employee, James Isbister, settled and farmed here until 1864. Over the next decades Isbister was an active community leader in Prince Albert where he retired in his later years. Isbister died in Prince Albert in 1915 and was buried in St. Mary’s Anglican Cemetery. Four years after Isbister settled in the area, Reverend James Nisbet arrived and established a Presbyterian Mission. He named the site Prince Albert in honour of the Prince Consort.

Prince Albert has been home to breweries, flour mills, an HBC post and farm, active steamboat navigation, a Northwest Mounted Police headquarters, a WWII Canadian Army Basic Training Centre, a grain and livestock centre, an opera house, an active Board of Trade, a pulp mill, a federal penitentiary, Over the next decade many of the first provincial jail, provincial government settlers were English Métis from the service centre, forestry and fisheries Red River Settlement who instituted offices, centre of trade and commerce the familiar riverlot system of farming. for the north, a strong commercial and Early settlers were drawn to this western industrial sector, diamond exploration, mission site, its abundance of timber, and an active cultural and recreational fresh water, and fertile land.

Lucy Maud Montgomery Sixteen year old Lucy Maud Montgomery lived with her father and his young family in Prince Albert from August 20, 1890 to August 27, 1891. Montgomery would eventually write and publish Anne of Green Gables in 1908.

Prince Albert Times, June 17, 1891 A Western Eden by Lucy Maud Montgomery "‌An unlimited expanse of gentle slopes and velvet meadows, dotted with groves and clumps of poplar, a pretty little town nestling at the foot of the terraced hills, a noble river flowing past, and beyond it the vast sweep of the forest primeval – that is Saskatchewan and Prince Albert. To be fully appreciated, Saskatchewan must be seen, for no pen, however gifted or graphic, can describe, with anything like justice, the splendid natural resources, the unequalled fertility and the rare beauty of the prairies of this Western Eden."

Prince Albert is full of history. Visit some of our city's historical sites to immerse yourself in how Prince Albert came to be and what continues to define the city.

Canadian Northern Railway Swing Bridge, completed in 1909 (west of

Diefenbaker bridge at river front) was originally a joint railway and road bridge.

The traffic lanes were used until 1960 when the Diefenbaker Bridge opened. The unique centre swing span permitted steamboats to pass through and was in use until 1918. Until the railway bridge was built, cable ferries were used to cross the river.

Immigration Hall, located at the corner of 15th Street East and 1st Avenue East, was built in 1929 and provided temporary accommodations for new immigrants during the settlement boom of the early 20th century.

La Colle Falls on the North Saskatchewan River is a partially completed remnant of the attempt to attract business to the area by bringing cheap hydro electric power to Prince Albert in 1909-14. The construction project was initiated during the boom of the early 19th century but abandoned during the economic crash of the next decade. Inaccessible in bad weather.

Prince Albert Arts Centre, a National Historic Site on Central at 10th Street, was built during the settlement boom in 1893 as a town hall and opera house.

Famous Canadian poet and recitalist Pauline Johnson graced the stage on a number of occasions.

River Front Cairn on River Street at Central Avenue was erected by the Prince Albert Historical Society in 1922 to recognize the Nisbet party’s arrival in 1866.

St. Mary’s Anglican Church and Cemetery, a

municipal heritage property, located 1.5 km west of the city was built in 1875. This is the first Anglican Church built in Saskatchewan. The cemetery is the final resting place for many early settlers.

Historical Sites Octagonal Building, a

Municipal Heritage Property built in 1905, is located on the grounds of the Prince Albert Exhibition Centre. Polygon buildings were occasionally built on fair grounds in Canada. A two-storey one, however, makes it very unique.

The Ladies' Section of the Lorne Agricultural Society initiated its construction for displaying their produce, needlework, baking and horticultural goods. It is the only surviving building of its type in the province.

Octagonal Building Photo by L Carter

Steamboats were a common sight on the North Saskatchewan River from the

1870s to 1918. The flat bottomed paddlewheelers were used to transport goods and passengers before railways were built between Grand Rapids, Manitoba, and Fort Edmonton. For more information, visit the Prince Albert Historical Museum at 10 River Street East.

Saskatchewan Ferries are used seasonally to cross the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers. The Weldon Ferry crosses the South Saskatchewan River linking Hwy 302 and Hwy 682, north of Weldon. The Cecil Ferry crosses the North Saskatchewan River linking Hwy 55 with Hwy 302.

The York Boat at 2nd Avenue and Marquis Road is a replica of a Hudson’s

Bay Company freight carrier that could be poled over shallow water, used with a square sail, and stand up to rough conditions. In the 1880s they were replaced by steamships on the larger rivers and lakes.

Little Red River Park

The 1200-acre Little Red River Park is located just north of where the Little Red River empties into the North Saskatchewan River. In Prince Albert’s early settlement period it was from the mouth of this river that thousands of logs spilled daily from spring through fall then rafted to the local lumber mills.

One hundred years later, the park shows no evidence of the lumbering activities that took place along its banks. What you will find is the Little Red River cutting and winding its way through multiple boreal forest ecosystems that provide enriching experiences for visitors year-round.

A 30-km network of multi-purpose trails through a mixed landscape provide hikers with an ever-changing backdrop of forest growth. Photographers, naturalists, and casual meanderers can soak in the beauty of the prolific wild roses, lichens, mosses, wildflowers, berries and the towering birch, aspen, spruce, jack pine, and tamarack. Close examination might also reveal a network of tracks from resident wildlife.

Dotted throughout the city park, visitors can settle for the afternoon at one of the day barbeque sites and enjoy a picnic or evening around a camp fire. These sites provide an opportunity to sit back and enjoy a good book with the sound of birds overhead and the river as it babbles past. Amenities include a concession booth and washrooms while picnic shelters and the Cosmopolitan Lodge provide shelter from the elements. The park also hosts a playground area and a suspension bridge that crosses the Little Red. There is no better way to unwind and treat your senses!

Dave Manson:

Humble Hockey Legend & Hometown Hero

Photo by Lucas Chudleigh

Dave Manson raises his fists and digs his skates into the ice. The towering defenseman stares into the eyes of Scott Stevens. Fists fly as they exchange a flurry of punches. Blood pours down Stevens’ face. This battle, in a 1991 game known as the St. Patrick’s Day Massacre, and many others, earned Dave Manson a reputation in the NHL. He was known for his physical play, strength, and willingness to defend his teammates. Today, as he reflects on his career, the only things he fights are the tears in his eyes.

Although recognized as a tough guy on the ice, Manson is a big-hearted, humble, family man. He is a community and hockey ambassador. In 2016, Dave earned one of the highest achievements in hockey for his accomplishments and contributions. The Prince Albert Raiders

[

of the Western Hockey League (WHL) retired Dave Manson’s number four on February 12.

Dave grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. As a teenager, he played three seasons with his hometown Raiders, from 1983 to 1986. Winning the 1985 Memorial Cup is a defining moment in his career. “There’s nothing like winning a championship,” Dave says. “When you get to hoist a trophy, that’s what you play for.”

In 1985, the Chicago Blackhawks drafted him 11th overall. “I was just happy to be drafted,” he remembers.

“I never really thought about playing in the NHL until after my 16-year-old year.”

A true team player, Dave attributes his draft status to the success of his team.

I’m proud to be from PA and I was proud to be a Prince Albert Raider.

30 | Discover Prince Albert

]

The draft is a career highlight for Dave. He also fondly remembers making two all-star game appearances and playing in the Stanley Cup final. Throughout his 1103 regular season career NHL games, he collected 102 goals, 288 assists, and a whopping 2792 penalty minutes. He ranks 13th in all-time NHL penalty minutes. Dave retired in 2002 and moved back to Prince Albert with his wife Lana and their four children Josh, Meagan, Emma, and Ben. Dave shakes his head at some of the moments that defined him on the ice. “You look back at some of the suspensions and you think, ‘Oh geez, what was I thinking,’” he says with a chuckle. Dave was more than a fighter. He was a team player with a physical presence, hard shot, and the ability to play any situation.

One of the greatest players in the 47-year Raider history, Dave is just the second to have his number retired. “For them to think of me was truly an honour and I was very humbled for that privilege,” he says.

The Raider organization hosted a weekend of festivities proclaimed by the City of Prince Albert as Dave Manson Weekend. Friday night featured a pre-game ceremony followed by a comedy roast on Saturday.

The crowd of over 2800 greeted Dave with a roar and a standing ovation.

A rousing tribute with a slideshow of Dave’s hockey highlights, family, and memories flowed across the big screen to David Cook’s The Time of My Life.

Dave received the WHL Alumni Achievement Award and a silver stick engraved with the teams and number of games he played. Dozens of friends, family, and former teammates honoured Dave with video messages.

The air was electric as fans cheered, applauded, and howled in recognition of their hometown hero. ...story continued on page 32

Dave Manson:

Humble Hockey Legend & Hometown Hero “The biggest reward for me was the fact that I was able to have my family there,” he says as he chokes up, saddened his late father couldn’t be there. Dave’s family has always supported him and been involved in his career, something he’s grateful for. He relishes the fact that since retirement he’s had the chance to support his wife and now children as they pursue their dreams and careers. It’s fitting that as Dave watched the green and gold banner rise to the rafters through teary eyes, his family was by his side.

Photo by Lucas Chudleigh

Hockey still plays an important part in Dave’s life.

He is an associate coach with the Raiders, a job he finds rewarding and fulfilling. Every time he’s in the arena, he sees the banner raised in his honour. Dave says the banner is about everyone who played a part in his time as a Raider: his teammates, coaches, and family.

“There’s a lot of emotions that go through you,” he says. “Each time you look up at it there’s a different memory.

That’s the great part of it.” His eyes fill with tears as he reflects on the memories. His name and number hang from the rafters, cemented in history - a deserving honour for a humble hockey legend and hometown hero. “I’m proud to be from PA and I was proud to be a Prinice Albert Raider.”

Hockey

Hockey Town North The Art Hauser Centre is one of the most intimidating places to play in the Western Hockey League (WHL) when the barn is packed with passionate fans. The Prince Albert Raiders offer exciting, top junior hockey and a chance to watch the future stars of the NHL. Raider alumni including Mike Modano, Scott Hartnell, Leon Draisaitl, Josh Morrissey, and local boy Dave Manson have gone on to play in the NHL. The community owned team actively participates in community events and contributes to the development of hockey at a grassroots level in Prince Albert and surrounding areas.

The city is also home to the Mintos of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League and the Northern Bears of the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA Hockey League.

Winter Festival In this province, winter is a time to celebrate and embrace the season.It may be cold, but our intense blue skies and sunshine throughout the winter months provide the most beautiful backdrop for all the winter activities the prairies have to offer. Hockey, skating, curling, winter camping, ice fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, bird and wildlife watching, snowmobiling, dogsledding, the Northern Lights and winter festivals are all part of the Saskatchewan experience.

Prince Albert is ideally located for immersing yourself in the season and everything it has to offer – and, there is no better example than the community’s annual winter festival.

Every February, since 1964, the city has played host to over a week of exciting indoor and outdoor activities.

Festivities include musical shows, a Beerd Derby, sled dog races, sliding party, a fish fry, a jigging contest, King Trapper events, a Kidz Zone, sleigh rides, arm wrestling, a craft & trade show and fireworks.

The Prince Albert Winter Festival kicks off every year with the Tux & Toques Gala in January – an entertaining evening of great music and fine dining! And, throughout the festival period, there is no end to musical entertainment – all showcasing local

and Saskatchewan artists. On the E.A. Rawlinson Centre stage there is a Fiddle Show, the Rock Show Experience, a Country North Show and Gospel Show. At the Prince Albert Exhibition Centre, young artists perform in the Northern Spirits Showcase and Voices of the North.

For the past 26 years, Voices of the North has been a highlight of the festival. The show begins every October with auditions. Voices of the North provides an opportunity for Aboriginal youth to gain self-confidence and selfesteem by experiencing the audition process and then performing before a live audience. This opportunity was the brain child of the late Bernice Sayese who wanted to celebrate, promote and support youth in the performing arts.

As part of the festival, the Mann Art Gallery facilitates their annual Winter Festival Juried Art Show & Sale which showcases local and area visual artists.

Throughout the entire festival, the talent proves to be breathtaking!

The success of the festival is all due to the year-round work of the Prince Albert Winter Festival Society who won the Samuel McLeod Business Award for Tourism in 2017. Congratulations to the Society and all the volunteers who once again organized an amazing 2018 festival!

Keyhole Castle This stately Queen Anne Revival home was designed and built by American architect, Erich W. Wojahn between 1911 and 1913 for local land developer, Samuel McLeod.

Born in Prince Edward Island, Samuel McLeod was trained as a shoemaker and moved to Prince Albert in 1883. Throughout the early boom period he established himself as a merchant, land and real estate developer, and became the President of the Board of Trade in 1888.

He entered politics as an Alderman, was a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, and served as Mayor of Prince Albert in 1896 and again from 1919 to 1920. McLeod’s stately residence well represented his place and role in a booming community during a period of industrial and commercial growth, new found wealth, vision, and optimism.

beautiful and inviting interior is detailed throughout with exotic hardwoods and inlaid wood floors; it also has a sweeping staircase, and third-floor ballroom. All of these architectural elements and its historical significance within Prince Albert contributed to its designation as a National Historic Site in 1975 and a Municipal Heritage Property in 2012.

Queen Anne Revival style homes typically incorporated complex and ornate eclectic features. In Keyhole Castle, this is evident in the exterior asymmetrical facades, steep-pitched roofline, polygon tower, terra cotta tiles, balustrades, and unusual keyhole shaped windows set into dormers. The two and a half storey home’s

Today, this private residence, owned by Jonathan and Denise Smith, is operated as a bed and breakfast. The Smiths have hosted numerous house concerts in the grand ballroom and in 2017 began providing guided summer tours.

LAKE STURGEON

Lake Sturgeon, survivors of a prehistoric age, are one of the slowest growing, longest-lived and largest freshwater fish in Canada. This unique species can live for 40 to 100 years, doesn’t reproduce until it is about 20 years of age and only once every 4 to 6 years. Lake Sturgeon are slow growing in the cold Saskatchewan River waters and can reach from 3 to 8 feet in length.

This bony-plated, ancient survivor of the Jurassic age, has a conical snout

and sucker-like mouth on its underside, bracketed by four sensory whiskers or barbels which allow it to detect food in murky, muddy river bottoms. This primitive fish uses its snout to stir up sediment on the river bed and feeds on insect larvae, snails, fish eggs, clams and leeches.

Lake Sturgeon, with their shark-like tail, fight their way upstream in late spring to spawn in fast flowing waters.

They then travel downriver to deeper water in the summer.

At the mouth of the Sturgeon River, which flows into the North Saskatchewan River just west of Prince Albert, First Nation families seasonally harvested these giants for thousands of years. All parts of the fish were used.

The flesh was preserved for food, the fish oil used for medicinal purposes, the bones were made into needles and spear heads and the stomach lining was used to make drum heads. The first settlers to the area used the oil in lamps.

By the early 20th century, the fish was harvested as a rich source of caviar, which unfortunately led to a chronic decline in population by mid-century.

Today, according to provincial estimates, there are about 5,000 sturgeon living in the North Saskatchewan River watershed and the population is beginning to recover.

Prince Albert National Park Before Prince Albert National Park was established, the 3875 square km area that would fall within its borders, was a traditional hunting and trapping ground for the Montreal Lake Cree Nation.

It was also home to a Hudson Bay Company post on Waskesiu Lake from 1886 to 1893. In 1913, the southern third portion of the park was established as the Sturgeon River Reserve. It was in that year that the Prince Albert Lumber Company began harvesting the forest for lumber. In 1924, because of the area’s recreational potential the first cottage subdivision was created on Waskesiu Lake.

In order to further develop the cottage site and roads into Waskesiu Lake, the Prince Albert Board of Trade successfully lobbied for the creation of a national park. On August 10, 1928, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, elected representative for Prince Albert, officially opened Prince Albert National Park - Saskatchewan’s first national park.

Throughout the depression of the 1930s, relief workers cut trails, built roads, bridges, wharves and structures.

Concentrated work was done on the development of a townsite and campground because of the increasing influx of park visitors. In 1931, there were 3800 campers sharing space on 480 sites. Permission followed to allow the erection of collapsible shack tents.

By the 1950s there were 412 shack tents in the campground. Over time, the shack tents were relocated, many eliminated, and others converted into permanent cottages. Today in the park there are 12 recognized federal heritage buildings, all built between 1928 and 1935.

Canada’s national parks were created for the enjoyment of Canadians as nature reserves and recreational sites. In 1931 the Dominion Park Service hired conservationist and author, Grey Owl (Archibald Belaney), as its first naturalist, providing him with a cabin on Ajawaan Lake in PANP. Over the next 7 years Grey Owl actively promoted wilderness conservation as an author and international speaker. Today, hiking to Grey Owl’s cabin is a popular 40km round trip experience.
