City of Prince Albert

What City of Prince Albert does

The City of Prince Albert is a municipal government incorporated in 1905 under The Cities Act of Saskatchewan, Canada, headquartered at 1084 Central Avenue. It is governed by an elected City Council led by Mayor Bill Powalinsky, with day-to-day operations managed by City Manager Sherry Person and CFO George Marshall. The City delivers essential public services to residents, local businesses, and visitors across the municipality, including policing, fire protection, water and sewer utilities, road maintenance and snow clearing, public transit, waste collection, property taxation and assessment, business licensing, building and development permitting, and bylaw enforcement.

The City operates a portfolio of recreation and cultural facilities including the newly opened Lake Country Co-op Leisure Centre (51,000 sq ft aquatics + 77,159 sq ft twin arenas, launched August 2025 under a $10M/25-year naming rights deal), Kinsmen Water Park (seasonal), EA Rawlinson Centre (performing arts), Margo Fournier Arts Centre, and Little Red River Park. Its technology stack is built on conventional civic platforms: ArcGIS for facility hours and infrastructure mapping, Xplor Recreation (PerfectMind) for program registration, online payment portals for utilities and taxes, and Sask1stCall integration for utility locates. The City has invested over $100 million in water and sewer infrastructure over the past 15 years and maintains the second-lowest water rates in Saskatchewan.

Its revenue model is a hybrid of tax-based and fee-based municipal funding. The 2025 approved capital and operating budget totaled $83 million (an $8.08M year-over-year increase), with property taxation being the primary mandatory revenue stream (General Municipal Levy of 14.226 mills for 2026, plus dedicated snow management, roadways, and library levies). Supplementary fee-for-service revenue includes quarterly water/sewer utility billing, business licenses, building and development permits, recreation program fees (e.g., $7.50 youth / $12.75 adult swim), and recreational facility rentals. Distribution is multi-channel: in-person at City Hall, after-hours drop box, six Canadian financial institutions for online/in-person banking, and self-serve digital portals. Operating geographies are limited to a single municipal jurisdiction in Saskatchewan, Canada.
