The Prince Albert Historical Museum will be open on Wednesday from 1-4 p.m.

Tim Panas with the museum said they’ll host a Remembrance Day event.

“Our galleries will be open with the natural emphasis on the military history of Prince Albert,” said Panas. “So our military displays will be available as well as the video’s we’ve had as part of our World War One exhibit that we had up last year.”

He said the museum is hoping to have some veterans come in for the special day, along with local cadets.  

“We’re looking at people from the Prince Albert community who have served in the Canadian Armed Forces, talking about their own experiences within the military, just let people know exactly what it is people involved in the industry goes through as part of service to this country,” said Panas.

Admission to the museum on Wednesday will be free.

“It’s a nice way to spend the afternoon after all of the commemoration ceremonies take place in the morning,” Panas said.

Prince Albert’s Messiah Lutheran Church, located at 1796 15th Ave. E., is having a Remembrance Day fall supper from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Supper for adults will be $15, $7 for kids aged six to 12 and free for kids five and under.
