Heavy Snowfall Delays City Operations

Heavy snowfall over the past 24 hours has significantly affected travel inside and outside city limits. The City of Prince Albert advises residents that snow removal operations are fully underway. 

Snow Clearing Operations

Crews are nearly finished clearing priority emergency routes and continue to make steady progress to clear bus routes. The duration and volume of snowfall have resulted in delays to transit, garbage, and recycling services.

Transit will not be running today. This might change later today as routes get cleared. For updates on service resumption, please visit: https://www.citypa.ca/news/transit-news/

Garbage and Recycling Pick-Up Schedule Changes

Due to heavy snow and anticipated melting conditions:

• Today’s (April 8, 2026) Zone 2 garbage pickup is rescheduled to Friday.
• Friday’s (April 10, 2026) Zone 4 recycling pickup is cancelled to ensure crews can complete the Zone 2 route.
