The Rotary Club of Prince Albert is proud to introduce our newest event for 2021 - Valentines Day Dinner presented by Canadian Tire

Late last year, Rotary Club of Prince Albert and the community were awarded a great honor: the Parks and Open Spaces Award. This award is given out by the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association, and all parks and trails in the province of Saskatchewan are considered.
We'd like to thank everyone who put in their time, effort, and financial contributions into creating the Rotary Trail. It was truly an effort by the community and we are proud to have worked with so many different people over the years.

The Rotary Club of Prince Albert is offering a unique evening of safe dining and tasting of fine wines from wine makers in Canada and Chile. Doug Reichel, our wine selection professional, and Randy Whitter of My Place Catering have created a pairing of wine and food that you can experience in your own Home Wine Premier Event.
Our Club is continuing its fundraising efforts during this era of COVID-19 to meet our ongoing commitments to fund community projects in Prince Albert.
Your participation and support of this event will allow our club to continue fundraising for our Centennial project in the Little Red River Park.
Orange Shirt Day is a day when we honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada and promote awareness of this period of time in Canadian history. On Wednesday, September 30, 2020, the Rotary Club of Prince Albert supported Orange Shirt Day by hosting the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Russell Mirasty. His Honour ran the entire length of the Rotary Trail with his son, Matthew, a member of the Rotary Club of Prince Albert. After completing the run, His Honour spoke briefly about his personal experience with residential schools and the significance of Orange Shirt Day to all Canadians. Thank you to all Rotarians and supporters who attended—we hope to see you next year!

Prince Albert Rotarians are still having regular meetings from a distance. Bailey Fischl, the CEO of Pure Roots Urban Farms presented about her business, which focuses on food that is nutrient-dense and hyper-local. The idea behind hyper-local is that food is grown within communities to reduce the carbon footprint from transportation, by selling directly from grower to end consumer.
The process of Pure Roots Urban Farms is a vertical method and uses 95% less water, 85% less fertilizer, and 95% less space than traditional farming methods. The farms are placed as units, and work diligently to provide the highest quality produce.
Prince Albert Rotarians were given a great presentation about fire fighting in Northern Saskatchewan from Dean Johnson of Northern Perspective Photo. The fire season in Saskatchewan is from April to September, and Dean is stationed out of the Narrow Hills Fire base. Mr. Johnson expressed that he finds the location amazing for socializing because there is no cell service; everyone is present and spend time together on the beach and around the fire pit. Rotarians were shown incredible photos from summers spent fighting fires, which can be found on Facebook at @northernperspectivephoto, or on his website. The photo below is only one of many of his incredible photos.
