The City of Prince Albert has been chosen as the site of the 1997 Saskatchewan Indian Winter Games. Approximately 1,500 athletes from 72 First Nations will be hosted by the city from April 1 to 4.
"We're actively pursuing these types of activities," said Blair Hoffman of the Prince Albert Parks and Recreation Department.
The city has a policy of providing recreation facilities without rental charges to these types of games, such as Saskatchewan Indian Winter Games and the Special Olympics, he continued.
