The city's downtown aesthetic is fairly typical for a city the size of Moose Jaw I guess...

Prince Albert's downtown is quite lacklustre, but it's invested quite a lot in revitalizing the downtown with the Prince Albert Arts Centre and EA Rawlinson Centre for Performing Arts.



One good way to gage small cities downtown's is the retail sector. One of the last news articles I read about Yellowknife almost a year ago was the state of it's only indoor shopping mall.

Thankfully Prince Alberta's indoor malls are somewhat better off.

Just like any small city, it's sport facilities are some of the main centres for people gathering, especially in Winter.
Prince Albert's Art Hauser Centre 3,000 seat arena is a focal point for sports





...I'm not sure what Yellowknife has in comparison, I hope it's nice too though.

Depending on how it's done, it could end up being a real showpiece for PA. I'd love to see it go up somewhere along the river.

I swear I am going to make it for a visit there soon once the WHL is back... my son wants nothing more than to do a hockey road trip for games in Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and Brandon.

Nice!, enjoy hockey tour of Saskatchewan/western Manitoba with your son when you do go.

Prince Albert approved plans earlier this Summer for a $60 million 400 seat Aquatic swim/diving centre with wave pool and wakeboard & surf rider wave machine along with twin hockey arenas each with 800 seats, recreation complex. A joint Saskatoon/Toronto architectural firm won the winning bit for the development that is to be built on the city's southeast corner, unfortunately not along river or downtown, like Moose Jaw's 4,500 seat Mosaic Place coliseum built earlier last decade.

Prince Albert had requested financial assistance from the Federal Government from it's public funding package for Canadian civic sports agreement but because the Prince Albert Raiders of the WHL hockey league are considered a "Semi Pro" sport team the feds rejected any funds for a new arena for the team.

Prince Albert is still ear marking another $60 million phase 2 for an eventual new 4,500 seat hockey arena to be built right next to the Aquatic & dual arena complex in the future.

Thanks for filling me in, that sounds like quite an ambitious project that will be a tremendous amenity for PA.

I gathered from Rod Pedersen's column back in July that plans are being hatched for a new arena even though no announcement has been made... team officials had an optimistic tone, so it sounds promising. See item #9 here - https://www.dubnetwork.ca/east-division/rod-pedersens-10-dub-things/

I'm looking forward to visiting when the time is right.

I liked Moose Jaw when I visited. Great name too.

seems like the population is permanently fixed at 33000

Mac the Moose needs a glow up...something like the new tallest moose statue in Norway. Mac looks like one of those sad cartoonish dinosaurs scattered throughout Drumheller.
(p.s sorry if I upset any Moose Javians with that comment)

[905er]

I quite like the historic elements of Saint John

I love the YEG skyline especially from unexpected angles and views like this!

Storelgen (the Norwegian moose) wasn’t the tallest very long as Mac got a new rack and reclaimed his title.

Gorgeous. Soon enough, five new 200m towers and two 120 towers will appear in this view.

I absolutely love how the churches and public squares create holes and some space to breathe in the urban fabric of downtown Montreal. Thanks for sharing!

Hard to beat Montreal.
