Thanks for making this video, dont get enough highlight of the good out here. I really wish we would care for our beautiful downtown more. It would be a shame to let it slip away further.
Thanks for watching - I really am impressed with the amount of old buildings that have been preserved in PA, adds to the overall vibe and downtown looks pretty cool. Cheers
I really appreciate this video. I spent most of my life in PA and had come to take it for granted. I could only see the negative side of the city. You really did a great job of finding the positives. I haven't lived there for a while now, but this made me remember what I love about PA.
I appreciate it, thanks for watching - the city definitely has issues but I really do think it has some great features. I also enjoy sharing aspects of Saskatchewan that don't get as much press. I live in Alberta but I love Saskatchewan in general. Cheers
Thanks for watching - yeah I really am impressed with how many old brick buildings have been preserved in PA, a lot more than cities that size usually have. Glad you got some value out of the video, cheers!
Thanks for watching - that means a lot to hear, one of my goals with this channel is to present interesting bits of Canadian history that (hopefully) people find interesting. Cheers!
Yeah he was great, actually someone else nearby also said a couple words on camera that I intended on including in the video but the audio was terrible. Cheers
Good video. Yes there are very nice old buildings there. Nice place to look at during the weekdays. (last time I was there it seemed that evenings and weekends had a lot of alcohol and drug activity with the natives near any casino or bar).
I was really impressed with how many historic buildings have been preserved throughout the city, I live in Edmonton and our city has been pretty bad for tearing down buildings like that. I think most people really enjoy those structures and they add to the vibe of the city. Cheers
LOL at the 6:30 mark you talked about strange activity at Kinsmen Park. I had to laugh because of how as young teens we used to go there at night and sneak a few beers and maybe a joint and yes there was strange activity. But not the paranormal kind, just young kids doing stupid stuff. Thanks for the memories. Great video. I am going to post it on Facebook for others who live in the Prince Albert aria to enjoy. Sometimes we need a visitor to show us what we miss every day.
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed this one, I don't know PA as well as a local honestly but I have fun making these "tourist" videos and learning a bit about history. Cheers!
It would be interesting for you to include some of the Indigenous history or reasons for settlement to an area when giving background info. Love your videos!
I appreciate it, thanks for watching - yeah I could definitely include more historical details like that in some videos. It would almost be worth doing a separate video on some of these towns that covers the complete history. Cheers!
I have lived in Prince Albert for my entire life. I love my city! My city has a bad reputation. While I admit that we are rough around the edges, I’m hoping now that we have a new mayor and city Council, that things will begin to improve. Prince Albert is not a large city, so it has many traits of small town living, but we have all the features, Both good and bad, of a larger center. The small town mentality, makes the population play their cards close to their chest, yet we deal with problems like gangs and drug addictions. sometimes, we can come across as grouchy! I really love and appreciate how within every aspect of the city and its culture, the First Nations people are represented nearly everywhere! I live within Treaty six territory.
This is one of your best looks at a city---- because you took time to research its history in such detail. I liked the comments/nformation shared about the people you mentioned. I personally believe that to fully appreciate what we see now in a city or location we need to know where it came from and why. Have you revisited Edmonton to share its history? If so you would give me the link? Thanks. Yes I'm a proud Edmontonian. Cheers!
living here, theres nothing nice about this place, the crime is out of control, the homeless and drug problems are out of control, theft and robberies are an everyday thing here.
Shopping sucks unless Walmart is your thing. Tons of methheads and crime. Shoplifting, property crime, B&Es, assaults. No good restaurants just lots of fast food places.
Great video! I lived in the city for a year. I liked the museum, the Art gallery and the view of the river. The only thing I don’t like about the city is the crime. Downtown can be dangerous. The Diefenbaker house pretty interesting to visit I must say!
Thanks for watching - I find the city has quite an impressive amount of old historic buildings and I think it's a great feature of P.A. Downtown can certainly be rough, although the same can be said for a lot of cities across North America right now. Cheers mate
@ good point about downtowns and your right. When I lived in the city I took pictures of all the old buildings. PA has been smart about restoring them unlike other cities. Did you try the bison cafe? It’s not bad
It's been proven that Prince Albert did not have the choice between a university or the penitentiary and chose the pen. Truly an urban legend that never seems to die.
Thanks for watching - I didn't say that PA chose the pen over the university. I said that PA was being considered for both and the university and the penitentiary, and that ultimately the decision was made by the government to build the school in Saskatoon. I'm sure the city would have loved having the provincial university in the city! Cheers
I've said the same about the city before, but I really do think it has some great features. Definitely excellent access to the Saskatchewan wilderness!
This is awesome. I love Prince Albert
Thanks for watching, PA has some great features! Cheers

The building with the green front at 4:55 used to be the Hudson Bay Raw Furs where my father worked back in the 70's. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching - that's interesting, it would be neat to see an old picture of that place. Cheers
You survived my hometown. Cameraman really never dies. 😅
Thanks for watching - downtown PA can definitely be sketchy but you know what, I'm from Edmonton so that's nothing new to me! Cheers mate
Thanks for this. I've always regretted not visiting PA when I was in the area.
Thanks for watching, P.A. definitely has some great features and some neat places to visit in the surrounding region. Cheers mate
There is history regarding the brick factory that were used for many of those old buildings you showed. Great video.
Thanks for watching - yeah I really am impressed with how many old brick buildings have been preserved in PA, a lot more than cities that size usually have. Glad you got some value out of the video, cheers!
I've lived in Prince albert for 15 years and I don't really know much history about it. So, thank you for reviewing my town's history

Anybody from PA remember going to hands bridge. That was another creepy ghost encounter close to the city.
Thanks for watching, good to know about another strange spot in that area! Cheers
Can still get there. I remember being able to drive over it back in the day. Now you gotta walk down to it
Props to the guy rapping at the end. ✌️
Yeah he was great, actually someone else nearby also said a couple words on camera that I intended on including in the video but the audio was terrible. Cheers

I love the old architecture.

This wouldn't be Tim Duck from Hudson Bay would it 🤔? That's were I'm from

@@jackdarbyshire5888 Last name is spelled Dyck not Duck. And no I am not from HB but I worked there off and on in my youth.

@@kurtfuchs4500 I haven't tried that place, I appreciate the recommendation - I'm going to be back in this area next year. Cheers
The bus does go out to little red. From what i heard about the st Louis ghost light, its on private property & can't get there technically anymore
The best part about PA is leaving

They kill bison and work at a prison, the end. Also better be related to the Allanites or it’s going to be rough sledding.
The city itself is terrible. The nature outside of it though is top notch 👌🏼
I've said the same about the city before, but I really do think it has some great features. Definitely excellent access to the Saskatchewan wilderness!
Lol one of the worst crime rates in the country.
Huge demographic problem destroying this area.
It's basically one huge reservation.
