Greetings from Prince Albert National Park!

The perfect New Year’s resolution? Spending more time with family and friends at Prince Albert National Park! Escape the hustle and bustle of the holidays, and plan a getaway to Waskesiu this season. Please feel free to share with colleagues, tourism partners, and the public.

Christmas Tree Harvest, on until December 24

• Come cut your tree on Christmas Eve! There is still time to cut your own Christmas tree in the Waskesiu Community Fuel Break (CFB) and help protect the community from wildfires. Get in the spirit of the season and pick out the perfect Christmas tree for your family in Saskatchewan’s boreal forest.

Contact the Prince Albert National Park Visitor Centre (306) 663-4522 or panp.info@pc.gc.ca for more information and to obtain you free permit!
