It is with great sadness that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has passed away. The City of Prince Albert joins the people in Canada and throughout the Commonwealth in mourning her death.
"I have only ever had one Queen in my lifetime and her passing brings a sense of loss for many of us," said Mayor Greg Dionne. "The Queen was much loved and highly regarded for her stability and commitment to duty."
Prince Albert is named after Royalty. In 1866 the founder of Prince Albert, James Nisbet, settled down and gave the city its name. Nisbet named the City after Albert, Prince Consort, and husband of Queen Victoria.
The book for messages of condolences is now available for residents to sign at City Hall (1084 Central Avenue) from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday. The book will be available until sunset on the as-yet-to-be-determined day of the Queen's funeral. People unable to attend these in-person signings can also submit a digital message by visiting www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/commemoration-her-majesty-the-queen/book.html.
In her honour the flags at City facilities will be lowered to half-mast.
