Prince Albert: Saskatchewan's Most Northern City In -40C

  • The city of Prince Albert is the gateway to the north of Saskatchewan. It is the province's third largest city and was one of my favorite places to go growing up. A lot has changed since I was last there, but what hasn't changed is just how COLD the temperature can be during the frigid Sask winters. It was hovering around -40 degrees celsius the day we were there, so it made filming extremely difficult. I hope you guys still enjoy the video and let me know in the comments if you've ever been to Prince Albert! xx

      Yes when things open back up, if you are driving to Saskatchewan, you will definitely notice how 'opened' up things are in Saskatchewan. The province is fairly flat, rumor has it that when you get into any tall structure, especially the one in my town, you can see everything from there. If Alina is in Prince Albert when you go to Saskatchewan you can use a telescope to see her from anywhere. lol...

    Enjoyed your video. I lived in PA during the winter of 1975-76 in my early twenties working mainly with the Cree and loved it. It's sad to hear about the crime rate. I also understand that meth and gangs are a problem like everywhere else in North America. I was very impressed with the generosity and friendliness of the Crees I got to know like the Greyeyes family who gave me a loaf of fresh bread right out of the oven on my way home on foot. Nothing like warm fresh bread on a cold winter's night. Hockey is still my favorite spectator sport. Cheers from Kentucky.

      In the UK our equivalent of the malls is the High Street. And these are suffering badly. When/if the pandemic becomes history I suspect that these areas will be converted to housing with a number of food outlets - and pubs of course. Retail will migrate to the outskirts (malls in US and likely this term will be eventually be used in the UK)

The city also had a lot more culture than I'd expect for a small city of less than 1/4 million in the middle of the prairie. Wanaskewin was a great spot to learn something about the geography and history of the area.

Even at that temperature everyone went out to the frozen Rideau canal festival with outdoor food stalls, dancing with live music, ice sculptures, a temporary zoo and even horse races on the ice. Now I live in Portugal where the coldest night was 1C but with houses without central heating or insulation I am often colder than in Canada. At the school where I now teach I have measured 7C inside the classroom in the early morning. I sure miss the warm Canadian houses.

    • @g00gleminus96
      @g00gleminus96 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your schoolrooms are 7c in the morning then you really could do with some insulation. A cheap alternative to modern building materials like fiberglass or styrofoam is dried straw. If you sandwich thick blankets (batts) of dried straw between two sheets of vapour barrier (tarpaper or tyvek) and then use that to insulate a wall it can significantly improve the efficiency of the heating source. Just be sure that the straw is very dry and that it stays dry. If the straw gets wet then it will eventually start to rot, which is why you must use a vapor barrier. To ensure you don't trap moisture inside the straw blankets, install it on a hot dry day.
      Insulation works becasue it traps small pockets of air in small spaces. This slows down the transfer of heat from one side of the insulation to the other. The more holes the more insulation. effectiveness

    • @antoniocruz8083
      @antoniocruz8083 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@g00gleminus96 There are a few problems 1. Insulation only works if it is very well done, with no heat escape areas, meaning not just the walls but the ceiling and even the floor must be insulated and all this is not easy in an already existing building all made of ciment. 2. Cost, there are about 15.000 schools in the country, that would cost upwards of a hundred million euros. 3. The climate here during 6 months has continously a certain wettness to it due to the proximity to the cold ocean, where +10° feels very cold, you feel it in your bones and the ciment absorbs moisture from the air and also from the ground, where it is in direct contact without often a ground air box. This makes the buildings even more uncomfortable, you practically feel like you are underwater at times.
      4. Even if insulated you still need a heating source which for such large buildings is very costly, most schools have no heating system at all. The schools were built in the 80's or earlier with no heating in mind unlike new houses which follow modern insulation codes.

    Even in the uncomfortable cold air, you showed that this town has its own charm. Well maintained homes and you are also right. Malls are not the most popular to shop in, the big box stores and large chain stores have taken away that, and I also believe that this will end up closing a lot of malls as shopping places, it usually happens when they price themselves way overpriced in rent for a lot of businesses to afford. I think this town will change and let's hope that the crime rate will be much better than you said. Great showing, but time to get warmed up now, I got cold just watching this. ))))) Cheers!!!

PA is definitely on my list of places to visit in Saskatchewan, alongside Moose Jaw and Athabasca Sand Dunes, which I think is way up north and only accessible by float plane.

    I was the MP for PA from 2000-2008. I appreciate the video. It brings back a lot of good memories. One can see what e-commerce and the pandemic has done to the mall and the retail shops. I was living in Nipawin and in my capacity as the MP I made many trips to PA and I got to know a lot of good people from PA. As I recall there was a very substantial migration of aboriginal people from the northern reserves. I believe the school population in some of the elementary schools was approaching 50% aboriginal. . I suspect that trend has continued. It did present some challenges. It was my belief that many of the disadvantaged had been victims of child alcohol syndrome. A sad situation. Anyways thank you for this video.

    Enjoyed this video and Sahara in Saskatchewan video. I was in Saskatoon in 1999. Spent the Summer and bit of Fall in Qu'Appelle Hall of the University of Saskatchewan before settling in Vancouver for a year and a half waiting to obtain US Immigrant visa to join my older brother in New York. I planted trees in BC while awaiting the visa as a member of Co-op. Enjoyed BC wilderness tremendously. We drank water right off the wild streams. Six years later I went to visit my friends in Vancouver and took trip to see the trees my Co-op planted. They were magnificient. Alas, they may have been cut down as timber by now. such is life !

      The Correctional Centre houses inmates that are generally sentenced to two years less a day, but there are exceptions to that as well. There is a unit that primarily houses those waiting trial or currently on trial, but primarily the Centre is living quarters for the majority of the inmates.
