COUNCIL ROUND-UP: After busy week for PA, city looks to keep momentum going
After a week that saw the Prince Albert abuzz with local businesses kept busy because of the Saskatchewan Winter Games, the Prince Albert Winter Festival and the Canadian Challenge Dog Sled Race, the city’s mayor is looking to keep the momentum going.
Mayor Greg Dionne said that with any of these events that come to the community, there’s an economic spinoff.
“Every hotel was booked. My normal quiet restaurants that I went to, we were lined up, you know,” he said after Monday evening’s council meeting. During the week, he said he handed out more than 300 city pins to visitors.
The key to keeping the momentum going forward, for Dionne, is to speak positively about the community.
