Prince Albert’s Cultural Vision, in 2035… Our cultural identity and makeup is founded on diversity, equality, and inclusion. We are a multi-cultural community who recognizes our Indigenous roots and diversity as people who celebrate our cultural makeup as more than the sum of any one culture. Together we animate our community culturally through the arts we create and perform; the crafts we make and share; the music we compose and play; the people and places we shape, build and honour; and through our understanding of a historic sacredness in all that we do. We live our culture through our shared values of compassion, flexibility and ingenuity. Prince ‘Culturally’ Albert.
“Culture is the heart of PA, and just like a heart, it beats through the body and keeps us strong.” Video Quote from a Community Member

Figure 1: Prince Albert Cultural Planning Process
The following facilitation principles guided the sessions: Every system works to some degree; seek out the positive, life giving forces and appreciate the "best of what is"; Knowledge generated by the inquiry should be applicable; look at what is possible & relevant; Systems are capable of becoming more than they are, and they can learn how to guide their own evolution -- so consider provocative challenges & bold dreams of "what might be."; and, The process & outcome of the inquiry are interrelated and inseparable, so make the process a collaborative one. (Cooperrider & Whitney, 1999)

Some of the event workers also took a survey. 2.4.1 Youth Engagement Youth were a part of this engagement process in a number of ways. An initial challenge for direct youth engagement sessions were the limitations to access through the schools. It was acknowledged that if there was no direct relation to school curriculum, researchers would not be allowed to engage directly with students in the school.
There was representation of youth during the first community-wide luncheon. Youth also participated in the community cultural planning survey; electronic copies of the survey were distributed through the school divisions and networks to the Student Leadership Councils (SLC). Hard copies of the survey were also distributed at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus to Métis Youth during a a number of students. Targeted Meeting

As part of the cultural planning community engagement process, it is important to understand how the Municipal Cultural Plan that will be developed in Phase 2 will align with the CoPA’s overall municipal planning framework to inform the best guidance, actions, and outcomes for the people of Prince Albert and beyond.
The CoPA has recently completed a number of related municipal-based plans and policy processes that will influence the development of the MCP. These include though are not limited to: the City of Prince Albert Five Year Strategic Plan (2015- 2020); Kistapinanihk 2035 – Prince Albert’s Official Community Plan (adopted by Council, November 9, 2015); Prince Albert Civic Arts Policy (adopted by Council, November 30, 2015); Downtown Strategic Plan (first drafted in 2002); Planning and Development Neighbourhood/Ward meetings (first phase ongoing since September 2015); Population Household and Employment Study (approved 2009); Communications Master Plan (adopted December 2015); Community Services Master Plan (in draft form as of the writing of this report) River Bank 20 Year Master Plan/Pêhonân Parkway Agreement; and the Prince Albert Tourism and Marketing initiatives.
This section provides an overview of some of the key plans and initiatives in the CoPA to help ‘make the links’ to the cultural planning process.
3.1 City of Prince Albert Five Year Strategic Plan (2015-2020) City Council and Senior Administration collaborated to develop a strategic planning framework to guide all other major planning initiatives within the CoPA, over the next five years. This process laid out the overall civic vision, mandate, core values, and operational themes from which a number of strategic goals and priorities are outlined to guide and shape the CoPA’s municipal operations and projects.
At the core of this document is the CoPA’s strategic planning vision statement which establishes the strategic focus for its municipal work and priorities and is as follows: Prince Albert will be an innovative, welcoming, diverse, and healthy city of opportunity. While the word culture is not explicitly written into the vision statement – the words align strongly with how community members define and give meaning to the community of Prince Albert’s culture (see findings Section 4). Strategic Plan Core Values Flowing from the vision statement, the CoPA has as its key mission: to enhance the quality of life through excellence in service. Entrepreneurial; Partnerships; The Strategic Plan also outlines four (4) key operational themes that guide Administration’s approach in its daily operations Innovation; and and projects: collaboration; sustainability; compassion; and exceptionalism. Five (5) strategic goals and respective priorities Accountability and are then outlined in the Strategic Plan. These include: fiscal management and accountability; active and caring community; Transparency. corporate sustainability; and infrastructure.

Under the strategic planning goals, there are a number of related initiatives that fall within the cultural planning framework. This includes (in no prioritized order): Developing a major event hosting strategy; Exploring the feasibility of a new aquatic centre and arena; Developing an Urban Forestry Management Plan; Developing a Communications Strategy/Master Plan; Revisiting the Community Services Master Plan; Updating the Civic Arts Policy; Revisiting the Downtown Strategic Plan; and, Completing the Rotary Trail.
All of these items will be included in the resulting Municipal Cultural Plan as informed by the voice of community members through the cultural planning community engagement process.
3.2 Kistapinanihk 2035 – Prince Albert’s Official Community Plan Prince Albert’s Official Community Plan (OCP) was originally adopted in 2009 as a comprehensive framework to guide growth and development in and around the CoPA. A review of the OCP was recently completed to update important implementation objectives. The OCP is also referred to as “Kistapinanihk 2035”, Cree for “The Meeting Place” and was officially adopted by City Council on November 9th, 2015. The review will allow Kistapinanihk 2035 to grow along with the changing and diverse needs of the City. OCP Vision The OCP includes objectives and policies for all pillars of sustainability including culture. There are several key objectives that Prince Albert will be a are directly related to the development and implementation of the future MCP. These include: sustainable, diverse and Section 6: Land Use: The land use goals in the OCP speak to smart growth; land use compatibility; preserving history balanced community that and heritage; park and trail linkage; transportation; infrastructure; and maintenance and enhancement of streetscapes recognizes the link and other key areas.

The its residents. Plan also acknowledges the role that arts, culture, and tourism play in the economic base. Section 13: Culture: The goals and policies of this section places an emphasis on the expression and celebration of the City’s vibrant history, culture, aesthetic, and social values that, together, contribute to the sense of place and belonging. The OCP policies signify that the art, culture, heritage, and tourism of Prince Albert act as both social and economic drivers for the City.

The Kistapinanihk 2035 goals and policies support the maintenance and enhancement of cultural and heritage recognition and development in the CoPA. These objectives and policies will be further informed by the cultural planning community engagement process. Future amendments to the goals and policies that align with the community voice will be provided in the MCP.
3.3 2015 Civic Arts Policy The CoPA first adopted a Civic Arts Policy (CAP) in 1994 and revised in January 2003. Over the past year (2015), a review of the Civic Arts Policy has been undertaken. This was a strategic goal outlined in the Strategic Plan (2015-2020). At the November 30th, 2015, City Council approved the Civic Arts Policy.
The revised CAP includes seven (7) sections: Policy; Purpose and/or Vision and Guiding Principles; Scope; Responsibility; Civic Arts Policy 1.01 Definitions; References and Related Statements of Policy and Procedure; and Procedure. The City of Prince Albert recognizes the benefits The Vision from the CAP is: of a Civic Arts Policy to That Prince Albert’s… guide the development Citizens have a multitude of opportunities to engage in creative pursuits as artists, students, participants, and audience of arts and culture for members; the community and to Reputation as an inclusive, innovative and culturally vibrant city is broadly recognized; and, formalize the role of the Artists thrive in an open and encouraging environment that places high value on their contributions to our community. Prince Albert Arts Board in the implementation of In addition to the Vision, and purpose the CAP also includes eleven (11) principles which are meant to be used as a guide to policy. practice and decision-making as the policy is implemented.
The Civic Arts Policy is one of the implementation tools of the future MCP. Many of the policy’s contents reflect and complement what was shared during the cultural planning community engagement process and will be included in the MCP.
3.4 Downtown Strategic Plan The CoPA Downtown Strategic Plan, prepared in May 2002, focuses on opportunities such as economic development, social and cultural challenges, urban design/architectural and landscape controls, and potential for marketing processes for business improvements. The Plan recognizes downtown Prince Albert as the social, economic, and cultural hub and gateway to Northern Saskatchewan. The following sections outlined in the Strategic Plan emphasize the significance of incorporating cultural assets into downtown Prince Albert: Historic Sites Policies: The preservation of historic buildings is used as a means to create a unique ‘sense of place’, distinguishing downtown areas from more modern developments; Hospitality/Tourism: Prince Albert is known to be a major regional centre, with the potential for tourism expansion in its downtown area. Many convention, accommodation, shopping, dining, and recreational facilities are available and encouraged in downtown Prince Albert; and, Page | 19
Section 3: Link to Other Planning Initiatives
Arts/Culture/Entertainment: Arts, culture, and entertainment facilities are important anchors to downtown development. These facilities draw people downtown, create jobs, attract tourists, and enhance the quality of life for the community and region.
Numerous potentials for the improvement of downtown’s cultural and entertainment appeal were identified during the vision building workshops with stakeholders. Some of the visions include: o An Interpretive Centre, in addition to the Prince Albert Historical Museum, including a complete history of the City, and First Nations; o Locate a sports complex (arena, curling rink) downtown; and, o Add recreational facilities for youth – Skateboard Park, basketball courts, etc.
The Prince Albert Downtown Strategic Plan displays a commitment to the promotion of cultural assets in the downtown core.1 Throughout the cultural planning community engagement process, the community strongly identified the Downtown as a cultural hub and anchor in the City.
3.5 Planning and Development – 2015 Neighbourhood/Ward Meetings In September 2015, the CoPA initiated the first phase in an on-going neighbourhood planning initiative. The goal through this process is to engage residents in providing input regarding challenges and opportunities in their neighbourhood. The feedback will be used in long term planning strategies in order to reflect the specific needs and desires of the neighbourhoods. The process is on-going and consists of a series of community engagements centered on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) exercises, neighbourhood characteristics, and neighbourhood dimensions and uses.2 Prince Albert Ward Map photo courtesy of: City of 3.6 20 Year River Valley Master Plan – Pehonan Parkway Agreement Prince Albert In 2004, the CoPA participated in the 20 Year River Valley Master Plan. This document contains recommendations and strategies for the river valley including trails and pathways to support recreational activities. The Pêhonân Parkway Agreement signed in 2005 by the CoPA and the Province of Saskatchewan stipulates that any development within the defined area must be consistent with the Agreement; the Pêhonân Parkway is linked to the Rotary Trail system which is connected to the river valley.3

3.7 Communications Master Plan In December 2015, the City recently approved a Communications Master Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify goals of the Communications Office so that Council and Administration are aware of the direction that will be taken over the next several years. The document is intended to be reviewed annually to ensure objectives are being achieved and updated to reflect the changing needs.
The goals of the plan are to: 1. Encourage a culture of proactive communication; 2. Improve public and stakeholder engagement; 3. Strengthen the city image and establish a city brand; 4. Improve access to information; and 5. Improve internal communication flow and coordination.
3.8 Community Services Master Plan In January 2007, the City contracted Randall Conrad and Associates to develop the first draft of The City of Prince Albert Community Services Master Plan. The Master Plan reviewed existing recreational facilities and programs, established community needs for facilities, prioritized the current upgrades and future development of recreation facilities for the City. One of the focuses of the draft was the use of “neighbourhood hubs.” The hubs are intended to focus on the delivery of social support and some services at a neighbourhood scale with the goal of nurturing these hubs to provide a centre where recreation, social support, and volunteer needs can be met.
It is a strategic goal of the CoPA to revisit the Community Services Master Plan. Moving forward, the goals and strategies of the redeveloped Master Plan will align with the goals and policies of the Municipal Cultural Plan that will be developed in Phase 2 of this process.
3.9 Prince Albert District Planning Commission The Prince Albert Planning District (PAPD), established in 1955, consists of member representation from the City of Prince Albert, the RM of Prince Albert, the RM of Buckland, and one member at large (held by the Province). The PAPD is considered a model of inter-municipal cooperation and successful regional land use planning in Saskatchewan. The PAPD has an Official Community Plan providing direction for land use, subdivision, and development within the RMs and lands adjacent to the City boundary. The Commission has had several successes in regards to the identifying characteristics of the District defining a culture of cooperation and interconnected relationships including4: o Open and effective dialogue between all municipalities; o Sharing of a municipal office for both RMs, and the Prince Albert Rural Water Utility encouraging communication and intercommunity cooperation; and,

o A framework for positive working relationships with First Nations communities and their neighbouring municipalities.
3.10 Population Household and Employment Study In December 2008, Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. was contracted by the City of Prince Albert to prepare a comprehensive long-term growth forecast as background to the City’s 2009 Development Levies and Servicing Fees Study. The long-term growth forecast serves as a tool for several purposes including community and cultural based planning. The population, household and employment forecast study is divided into three phases: Phase 1- Economic and Demographic Profile; Phase 2- Long-Term Population and Employment Forecast; and Phase 3- Review of Recent Population and Housing Forecasts for Prince Albert.
The perspective growth trends highlight the possible changes in the community needs including services, amenities, and infrastructure and demonstrate the need for regional economic development strategies based on the modest population growth projections.5
3.11 Prince Albert Tourism and Marketing Prince Albert Tourism and Marketing is a non-profit organization that markets what the CoPA and area has to offer including recreational activities such as hiking, canoeing, fishing and hunting in the summer months, and sledding, skiing, ice fishing, and other activities in the winter months. The organization started in 2009 and has implemented strategies on improving tourism opportunities in the community; this is achieved through many partnerships. This is important to the cultural planning process because of the connection to the tourism opportunities as a result of the cultural planning process.

These findings will Planning Booth Map help to inform the vision and recommended next steps found in Section 5.
4.1 Official Community Plan (OCP) Open House The OCP Open House was the first community engagement session as part of Phase 1. Community members were asked to identify on a hand drawn map of Prince Albert their stories, experiences, activities, people, places, cultural assets, and anything else that comes to mind. They were also asked to share what makes Prince Albert’s culture unique and what are their hopes for Prince Albert’s culture in the future. Figure 2 is a photograph of the map with the information shared by community members.
There was a wide variety of cultural resources that were captured on the hand drawn map. These included recreation and green/park spaces such as: the Little Red River Park and the Kinsmen Ski Hill; Miller Hill; the Rotary Trail; river bank; Memorial Square; running trails; Skate Park; Cooke Golf Course, and Kinsmen Park. Community facilities included Carlton Comprehensive High School, Frank Dunn Swimming Pool, the indoor soccer fields at the Alfred Jenkins Field House, Mann Art Gallery, Saskatchewan Polytechnic Library, and the Historical Museum.

It was also shared that there is potential for revitalization and Figure 3: Image of the cultural mind map created during focus groups enhanced connection between the river front and downtown, whereby this area can become Prince Albert’s vibrant cultural hub.
4.2 Focus Groups During the four (4) focus group sessions held on October 1st and 2nd, 2015, a series of mind maps were created. The sessions were guided by a set of questions and each discussion built upon the previous one as outlined in section 2.4. The following is a summary of the findings in the focus groups.
During each of the focus groups, participants were asked: “What cultural assets can we identify?” These included both the tangible and intangible assets, and the current relationship/partnership in place.
Figure 3 is a photograph of the completed mind map, and Figure 4 is a Wordle that was created from the mind map information. Wordle is an online web-application that compiles word data and illustrates which words were repeated most often; the larger the word appears, the more times it was mentioned.6
The mind map contained a collection of cultural resources from community amenities and facilities; community-based organizations; private businesses; annual events and festivals; local artists and musicians; private facilities used for cultural activities; sporting activities; recreational and park spaces; and other intangible elements that defined the cultural character of Prince Albert. Each of the focus groups continued to add to the mind map, building off each other’s work. The information from the mind map helped inform the cultural resources inventory. See Appendix “E”: Cultural Resources Inventory.

Section 4: Community Findings
The Wordle (Figure 4) identifies some of the major themes that began to emerge from the discussions. This includes the terms: Music; Centre; Annual; Festival; Arts; Figure 4: Wordle of mind map Historical; community; PAGC; and more. The term Centre is the largest because the identification of the multiple centres across Prince Albert including the Margo Fournier Centre, Arts Centre, E.A. Rawlinson Centre, and others.
After reviewing the mind map, the next question focus group participants were asked was: “What is driving these cultural resources?” A separate sheet of flipchart paper was used to document the drivers and is summarized as follows: It was recognized that Prince Albert has a dedicated group of volunteers that contribute tremendously to the community. These volunteers work tirelessly to help serve their community. There is a lot of “passion and love” behind the volunteers who contribute to their community to help make it a better place; Prince Albert is a unique community, in considering the size and resources of the city, there is a lot that is offered; Prince Albert is an established, humble community when compared to the other larger urban centres in Saskatchewan; There is a lot of history and heritage found within Prince Albert; and, Prince Albert is also driven by the strong economic base. It serves as a hub for many northern communities for retail and other services, hence the name “Gateway to the North.”
After identifying the drivers behind the cultural resources, the focus group participants were then asked to identify future visions and opportunities for cultural resources in Prince Albert. These are summarized as follows: Bringing back larger scale events and festivals such as Taste of PA and the Christmas Show; Promotion of the rich cultural and heritage offerings of the city; Need for a venue that is available for all ages – there is a recognized gap for activities for the youth/young adults aged 20 to 30; o Identification of a musical venue/pub for band gigs; Utilization of the river front for cultural activities – the idea of a community oven was also mentioned; Expanding the exposure of arts and culture through many different avenues – Pow Wows and round dances were identified as one idea; Need for more public art installations around the community; Coordination of events in one place/calendar so it is more convenient for community members and easier for organizations to coordinate events; and, Narration of the resiliency of Prince Albert, need to show the story of history from the abandonment of La Colle Falls, closing of the pulp mill, the history of the prisons, to the reconciliation of the Aboriginal community.

The meeting was an outcome of the focus group meeting as participants noted the need to ensure the voice of the Métis was reflected into the cultural
Page | 31
Section 4: Community Findings planning process. During the meeting, a background and context of the project was provided and the process to date was shared. This led into a conversation that was initiated by asking the question: “What else can you tell us about Prince Albert cultural resources that we need to know?”
One participant shared that the term “culture” was such a broad word; it means many things to many different people. In the context of Prince Albert and also from the perspective of a Métis individual, they felt that the Métis are the “have-not group” in the community. There is such a rich history of the Métis in Prince Albert, and as the community continued to grow, it seemed they “we were pushed to the side” as one participant noted.
Participants noted that this is felt through the funding and grants that are available. The Métis organization lacks infrastructure dollars to help assist with the programs and activities that they offer – it was noted that there are grants available, but because of the competitive nature of the applications, they are often not chosen. Particularly with Aboriginal-specific grants, the participants shared they felt that they are overlooked and the funding is allocated to First Nation organizations instead of Métis organizations.

Section 5: Community Cultural Mapping
As part of Phase 1 of the Prince Albert cultural planning process, a series of maps were developed to complement the data gathered. The following section is an outline of the community cultural mapping component of Phase 1. Community cultural mapping set out to map the tangible and intangible resources that make people and the places they live in unique.
5.1 Cultural Resource Inventory Map It is important to understand the current make-up of a community to inform and identify future goals and a vision. Through this process, PWC worked with the Project Planning Group (PPG) and wider community through the engagement sessions to develop a cultural resources inventory. These cultural resources are comprised of a number of tangible and intangible resources that are valued as having cultural significance to Prince Albert. The inventory to-date includes 334 resources, which are a number of amenities, places, events, and people. The inventory is organized by four (4) categories: Type; Primary Function; Cultural Theme (as defined through the process); and Predominant Organizational Model.
Cultural Theme – through the cultural planning engagement process a number of themes emerged up to the first community wide luncheon (held on October 2nd). These themes were introduced at the first luncheon for the community to identify current and future cultural resources and goals. To ensure consistency of themes, the resources were also categorized by the cultural theme. The themes include: All Ages – Activities and Amenities; Heritage; Business, Industry, & Innovation; Outdoor and Natural Places; Community Based Initiatives; Performing, Visual, and Mixed Arts; and, Prince Albert Arts Centre Education and Health (Social) Sports & Recreation. Food and Food-Related/Culinary Culture;
Type is an overarching descriptor of the resource. This is further broken down in categories including Administration; Creation/Production; Education/Training; Event; Multi-Functional Commercial; Multi-Functional Community; and Presentation – Live Performance.
Primary Function is a more specific descriptor for the resource, detailing what the primary use of the resource is. This includes Art Studio; Church; Commercial and Retail; Community Centre; Community Organization; Fundraiser; Health Care and Support Services; Individual Performance; Museum; Music Studio; Public Park; Public Performance; School; Sporting ; and Event/Organization.
Predominant Organizational Model describes the way in which the resource is governed. The models are broken down by Aboriginal; Federal; Municipal; Non-Profit/Community Based; Private; Provincial; Quasi/Post-Secondary Education; and Quasi School Board.

Taking a closer look at the cultural resources inventory, Figure 23 illustrates the resources by Cultural Theme. The largest cultural theme is Community Based Initiative making 24% of the total. This is followed by Sports and Recreation (20%) and Social – Education and Health (18%). The smallest cultural theme category is Food and Food Culture making 2% of the total. This includes restaurants and events that create Prince Albert’s culture.
Figure 24 illustrates the resources by type; the largest amount of cultural resources in Prince Albert by type is Multi-Functional – Community with 62% of the resources identified. This is followed by 13% of resources categorized as Events; 10% as Education/Training; 7% Creation/Production; 3% Presentation – Live Performance; 2% for Presentation –Exhibition and Multi- Functional – Commercial; and 1% Administration.
When the cultural resources are broken down by Primary Function, music and dance studios are the smallest identified resources with a total of 3 each. The largest amount of resources by Primary Function includes Community Organizations with 62. This includes organizations such as Prince Albert Arts Board; Rotary Club; Francophone Society; Community Neighbourhood Clubs, and more. This Primary Function is closely followed by Sport Event/Organization resources, with a total of 61. Other resources by Primary Function are shown below in Figure 25. Community Members during the Second Community Wide When the cultural resources are categorized by predominant organizational model, almost half (48%) can be classified as Non- Luncheon Profit/Community Based. Some examples of resources in this classification include events such as Downtown Street Fair, the Exhibition, and the Winter Festival; and Organizations such as the Prince Albert Community Housing Society Inc., Rotary Club, and the Community Clubs.
This is followed by 23% classified as Municipal which includes resources that are governed by the City of Prince Albert. Other classifications included 11% private; 8% Quasi/School Board; 4% for both Provincial and Aboriginal; and 1% for both Federal and Quasi/Post-Secondary Education. Currently, none of the resources have been identified as other. These numbers are shown in Figure 26.
In addition to the above Figures, Cultural Resources Inventory Maps have been created to show the spatial distribution and spectrum of the cultural resources found within the City of Prince Albert. The resources have been mapped by Type, Primary Function, and Cultural Theme and are included in the following pages. Some of the resources included in the inventory database were mapped because they do not have physical addresses. A total of 307 cultural resources were mapped by geocoding (converting addresses into geographical positions or points on a map).
The full cultural resources inventory is available in Appendix “E” of this report

5.2 Preliminary Future Cultural Landscape Future Cultural Landscape Thematic The Future Cultural Thematic Map shows the density/concentration of where the community envisions as wanting some positive change toward enhancing or improving the existing cultural resources within the CoPA into the future. It is a geographical representation of the inputs from the community engagement process, where community members/participants were grouped into the following ten (10) topics, and shown on the legend of the map as:
All Ages – Activities and Amenities; Natural Places; Business, Industrial and Innovation; Outdoor and Natural Places; Community-Based Partnerships and Initiatives; Performing, Visual, and Mixed Arts Education and Health (Social); Sports and Recreation; and, Food and Food-Related/Culinary Culture; Youth. Heritage; Focus Group Mapping Session The map is a product of the visioning exercises that was done by participants through the first community luncheon and the final focus group. They were asked to map what they want to see improved and/or developed in relation to their respective topics that they were group in for the next 25 years+. Also, included are the inputs from the Focus Group that did the same exercise and augmented the above visioning topics. The most prominent areas and/or concentration of points on the map indicates the number of times an area was mentioned and speaks to where they want to see improved as cultural nodes for harnessing the diverse and unique cultural values and traditions for the CoPA in future.

Preliminary Future Cultural Landscape Map The Preliminary Future Cultural Landscape Map is derived from the Thematic Map above, and shows the outline of the areas with the most clusters of points on the map (cultural hub and nodes, and cultural infrastructure support districts) that the community wants to see improved growth and development for the next 25 years+ in the CoPA. As indicated in the legend, these include: Cultural Hub and Cultural Nodes (Working Titles) Cultural Infrastructure Support Districts (Working Titles) o Downtown Cultural Hub; o Airport expansion; o Cathedral Area; o Bridge Development; o Commercial Corridor; o Health and Education; o Cooke Golf Course and Curling Club o Post-Secondary Education; and, o Kinsmen Park Family Play Centre; o Rotary Trail Development. o Little Red River Park; o Prime Ministers’ Park; o Railway Green Redevelopment; and, o North Saskatchewan River Front.
The map serves as a spatial representation and compliment the Key Observations Based on Findings in Section 6 of this report. It is important to note that this map does not have any policy implications at this time. These have been further explained below.
Cultural Hub and Nodes (Working Titles): These are future cultural potential areas considered as a hub and nodes whereby the cultural values and traditions of the CoPA is envisioned to be promoted to the whole community. The components of the cultural hub and nodes as indicated above have also been explained briefly based on the inputs from the community engagement process.

Section 6: Key Observations Based on Findings
Section 6: Key Observations Based on Findings
The following section is intended to report on the key observations based on the findings from the various community engagement sessions. The key observations will be based on the revised cultural planning themes that were initially created during the first community forum, and refined upon further analysis of the findings.
6.1 Our Heritage Prince Albert has a rich history, from the pre-settlement period to today. Kistapinanihk, the Cree term for “the meeting place,” has been identified as an important term as it represents the community as a historic hub.. Related to the rich history of Prince Albert as the gathering place is the “multiculturalism” of the community. Many community members identified that Prince Albert was multicultural even before the settler’s arrival with the different First Nations gathering near the river. Today, Prince Albert has a diverse population with people of many different backgrounds. Prince Albert Arts Centre Community members identified the importance of honouring the past, and the stories of Prince Albert’s growth as a photo courtesy of: City of Prince community. Part of honouring the past is also acknowledging the hardships of its history including the closure of the Albert pulp mill and the abandonment of La Colle Falls. During the focus groups, there was a dialogue around the resiliency of the community that has brought them together during the trying times in the past, and has contributed to the strong community-mindedness found in Prince Albert. Community members recognize the important history of Prince Albert, including the three Prime Ministers that were from the city. Community members identified the need for a “balanced narrative” that focuses on the positives and the hardships (and sometimes tenuous) stories of Prince Albert’s growth. 6.2 The River and Natural Surroundings/Places The North Saskatchewan River that runs through the city has been identified as a culturally significant area to the community. The reoccurring theme through the community engagement sessions was the need for redevelopment and revitalization of the river front. It was recognized that the river is under-utilized and there is opportunity for it to be developed into a major cultural focal point. One such idea was the use of community ovens, where people can come together and cook meals together. Many community members noted the natural aspects of Prince Albert. Being the “Gateway to the North,” Prince Gazebo on riverfront Albert has access to the northern lakes and forests and also maintaining the connection to agriculture. Little Red River Park, located north of the river has been identified as having potential to be improved with expanded programs and activities for all community members. Throughout the engagement sessions, community members noted the importance of maintaining this amenity and improving it. There is potential to have this linked with the Rotary Trail system that can be pursued through the Pêhonân Parkway Board. Page | 57
Section 6: Key Observations Based on Findings
6.3 Bridging Nations In order to create cultural vibrancy in the community, it has been identified there is the need to focus on cross-cultural understanding. Having the open communication and dialogue about cross-cultural understanding has been identified as being important. There was the identification of challenges around the perception of negativity within the community.

It was recognized that there is opportunities to strengthen the relationship between Métis and the rest of the Aboriginal and wider community. During the Elder’s meeting, it was noted that it is important to acknowledge the traditional land and go through the proper protocols prior to the start of a meeting or community-wide event. Moving forward, it was identified through this process that there is great opportunity to improve relationships, and build bridges to create a culturally-vibrant community. Reconciliation and education has been identified as a very culturally-important item for the community.

There is the need for a shift with the community to make it more inclusive 6.5 All Ages – Activities and Amenities As noted above, Prince Albert has plenty of facilities and other amenities available for the community. Though, it has been identified by participants that there is the need to be more inclusive of people of all ages; there is a perceived gap with young adults. Future hope exercises with community members identified potentials for venues that would host bands and other acts intended for the young adult demographic. Youth engagement is also recognized as having great importance in the community; they play an important role on how cultural resources should be planned for the future. A future hope identified was the idea of neighborhood facilities that would provide programming for everyone of all Kinsmen Park photo courtesy of: PAnow ages; these facilities would complement central facilities already in place. 6.6 Sports and Recreation Prince Albert recognized as a “sports city” known for all the sports and recreational amenities and programming.

Section 6: Key Observations Based on Findings
6.11 Community Luncheon #2 Responses on Observations As part of the second community luncheon, community members were asked to provide their thoughts and other comments on the key observations presented. As part of the work book exercise on the key observations, community members were asked to ‘reprioritize’ the key observation themes. Using a numeric value, community members identified what should be a primary focus, with “1” identified as being the primary focus to “10” identified as being the least primary focus.
Using Microsoft Excel, the numbers were inputted under each cultural theme and sorted from smallest to largest. After observing the data and seeing the amount of times the top three numbers were identified under each theme, the following were seen as most important areas of focus: Bridging Nations; Performing, Visual, and Mixed Arts; The River and Natural Surrounding and Places; Community Vitality and Networking; Our Heritage; Supportive Infrastructure and Related Resources; Community members during second community luncheon Business, Industry, and Innovation; Sports and Recreation; All Ages – Activities and Amenities; and, Food and Food-Related/Culinary Culture.
Others made the general note that they should be all viewed as equal and did not put any numeric values to the themes. Others included multiple prioritizing with the note that the prioritization changes depending on who the targeted demographic is. Some noted that Sports and Recreation was not in the top half for prioritization because this is already well-developed in the community and there is opportunity for other areas to be expanded upon.
Bridging Nations was the cultural theme that had the most times mentioned as number 1, or the top three. Some of the participants indicated that in order to create a cultural vibrant community, there is the need for better cross-cultural understanding in the community.

Section 7: Shared Values and Preliminary Vision Statement
The following section outlines the baseline vision and goals for Phase 1 of the Cultural Planning process. These are intended to be “high level” that serves as a baseline for the continuing work of Phase 2.
7.1 Shared Values During the focus group sessions, there was a small introductory exercise, meant to be in part, an ice breaker for participants. During the start of each focus group, participants were asked to take one minute and write down one thing that they value most about Prince Albert. They were able to write down one word or phrase they felt were important to them. The following Wordle (Figure 27) summarizes these values that focus group participants identified:
Figure 27: Wordle of values identified during focus group sessions
Words such as “history,” “community,” “location,” “home,” “people” are identified as strong values for Prince Albert. These values will form the basis of the baseline vision and goals for the Phase 1 report. These words are reflective of the overall process of Phase 1. Community members identified strongly that the people and the community together make up a strong cultural place. Within Prince Albert, there are dedicated people who contribute greatly to the community.

Section 7: Shared Values and Preliminary Vision Statement
7.2 Preliminary Vision A vision statement is intended to give a broad, inspirational image of the future that someone or a group of people aim to achieve. The vision statement is written in present tense, in a positive tone and is easy to understand. From the community engagement process for Phase 1, a preliminary vision statement has been created.
This preliminary ‘cultural’ vision may be further refined as the community moves through Phase Two of the Cultural Planning Process. The phrasing below is drawn from the discussions and words shared through this process.
Prince Albert’s Cultural Vision, in 2035… Our cultural identity and makeup is founded on diversity, equality, and inclusion. We are a multi-cultural community who recognizes our Indigenous roots and diversity as people who celebrate our cultural makeup as more than the sum of any one culture. Together we animate our community culturally through the arts we create and perform; the crafts we make and share; the music we compose and play; the people and places we shape, build and honour; and through our understanding of a historic sacredness in all that we do. We live our culture through our shared values of compassion, flexibility and ingenuity. Prince ‘Culturally’ Albert.
7.3 Recommended Next Steps
As part of next steps of the Cultural Planning Process the following is recommended:
Proceed with Phase 2 of the Prince Albert cultural planning process, which includes the development of the Municipal Cultural Plan. This will involve the alignment with any applicable planning initiatives currently underway in the City of Prince Albert, with particular regard to the updated Official Community Plan.

Appendix A: Community Cultural Profile
Appendix A: Community Cultural Profile .1 Historical Background For thousands of years, Aboriginal people have lived and gathered on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, including the present day location of Prince Albert. It was likely for this reason that a fur trade post was built just west of the present day City in 1776 (McLennan, 2008).
In 1862, a First Nation and Métis community called Isbister Settlement was established. In 1866, Revered James Nisbet, a Presbyterian missionary, began a mission at the site of the modern-day City (Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan 2007). The remains of the cemetery from this mission were discovered during the construction of the Saskatchewan Forest Center Building in 2004. Nisbet named the site “Prince Albert” for Queen Victoria’s late husband (McLennan, 2008). The Prince Albert Historical Society moved one of the first buildings built by Nisbet, the First Presbyterian Church, to Kinsmen Park (then Bryant Park) in 1932 and it stands there to this day. In 1884 and 1885, the City played a role in the events of the North West Resistance; meetings were held there that resulted in a party going south to bring Louis Riel back from exile (Prince Albert Tourism and Marketing 2015).
In 1879, the first visiting company to put on a minstrel show came to Prince Albert. By 1881 farmers, hardware merchants, and labourers sang, played piano, or tap danced (Abrams, Prince Albert, The first century 1866-1966, date). By 1933, Prince Albert became the site of the first festival sponsored by the northern branch of the Saskatchewan Musical Association and the northern festival was again held in Prince Albert for the following two years.
Prince Albert was named a town in 1885 and a City in 1904. The boom years at the turn of the last Percentage of Total Population that Self- century resulted in the construction of several significant heritage buildings such as Keystone Castle and Identified as Aboriginal in Saskatchewan's the old Fire Hall (now the Prince Albert Historical Museum). Another highlight came in 1927 with the Three Largest Cities, 2011 National creation of Prince Albert National Park. Household Survey

Appendix B: Cultural Planning Community Surveys
This appendix contains the surveys that were utilized during Phase 1 of the Cultural Planning Process. There were a total of three versions of the survey: one was a ‘preliminary survey’ for the Project Planning Group; the other was a first version of the community survey distributed at the OCP Open House; and the final version of the community survey based on feedback. The final version contains very similar questions asked from the first version, with language updated.
Each of the survey templates are listed below:
Project Planning Group Preliminary Survey City of Prince Albert Cultural Planning Engagement Process Project Planning Group Survey
Welcome to the Project Planning Group! As the Phase 1 Consultants, we look forward to engaging with you and the wider community of Prince Albert through this cultural planning engagement process.

Appendix C: Second Community Luncheon Reflections Handbook The following is the handbook that was utilized as part of the second community luncheon to help participants document their thoughts and other feedback on the information presented.
Cultural Planning Individual Feedback-Reflections Handbook Thank you for participating in today’s cultural planning engagement luncheon. Your feedback and input into the cultural planning process for the community of Prince Albert is valued and deeply appreciated. During today’s luncheon the facilitators will share a summary of findings from each of the community engagement activities that took place over the past two months. This includes a summary of key learnings about what culture means to Prince Albert now and in the future - as shared through: public meetings, focused sessions, an open house, surveys done on-line and in-person, and, recording volunteers through video. Approximately 350 people directly gave their time and resources to this process. Thank you. This ranks very highly amongst processes of a similar nature. The information from this engagement process will directly inform the development of a Municipal Cultural Plan for the community of Prince Albert to guide future policies and directions associated with Prince Albert’s cultural make-up. After you’ve enjoyed lunch the facilitators will be sharing a number of mini-presentations about the findings. After each presentation you will be asked to share your thoughts about the information provided to further inform the process and findings themselves.
