Driving in NORTH BATTLEFORD Saskatchewan. Tour of Canada's Most Violent City.
Apparently this city called North Battleford has a bit of crime and was considered Canada's most violent city by the magazine Macleans in 2018. It seemed like a nice place in the afternoon... we reach the downtown area at 9:25.

Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan (/səˈskætʃəwən/ or /səˈskætʃəˌwɑːn/) is a prairie province in Canada, which has a total area of 651,900 square kilometres (251,700 sq mi) and a land area of 592,534 square kilometres (228,800 sq mi), the remainder being water area (covered by lakes/ponds, reservoirs and rivers). Saskatchewan is bordered on the west by the Province of Alberta, on the north by the Northwest Territories, on the east by Manitoba, and on the south by the U.S. states of Montana and North Dakota. As of December 2013, the population of Saskatchewan was estimated at 1,114,170. Residents primarily live in the southern half of the province. Of the total population, 257,300 live in the province's largest city, Saskatoon, while 210,000 live in the provincial capital, Regina. Other major cities include Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton, Swift Current and North Battleford.
Saskatchewan was first explored by Europeans in 1690 and settled in 1774, having also been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups. It became a province in 1905, its name derived from the Saskatchewan River. The river was known as kisiskāciwani-sīpiy (swift flowing river) in the Cree language. In the early 20th century the province became known as a stronghold for Canadian democratic socialism. Tommy Douglas, who was premier from 1944 to 1961, became the first social-democratic politician to be elected in North America. The province's economy is based on agriculture, mining, and energy. Saskatchewan's current premier is Brad Wall and its lieutenant-governor is Vaughn Solomon Schofield.

SUMMARY
=======
Saskatchewan ( (listen)) is a prairie and boreal province in western Canada, the only province without natural borders. It has an area of 651,900 square kilometres (251,700 sq mi), nearly 10 percent of which (59,366 square kilometres (22,900 sq mi)) is fresh water, composed mostly of rivers, reservoirs, and the province's 100,000 lakes.
Saskatchewan is bordered on the west by Alberta, on the north by the Northwest Territories, on the east by Manitoba, to the northeast by Nunavut, and on the south by the U.S. states of Montana and North Dakota. As of late 2017, Saskatchewan's population was estimated at 1,163,925. Residents primarily live in the southern prairie half of the province, while the northern boreal half is mostly forested and sparsely populated. Of the total population, roughly half live in the province's largest city Saskatoon, or the provincial capital Regina. Other notable cities include Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton, Swift Current, North Battleford, Melfort, and the border city Lloydminster (partially within Alberta).Saskatchewan is a landlocked province with large distances to moderating bodies of waters. As a result, its climate is extremely continental, rendering severe winters throughout the province. Southern areas have very warm or hot summers. Midale and Yellow Grass near the U.S. border are tied for the highest ever recorded temperatures in Canada with 45 °C (113 °F) observed at both locations on July 5, 1937. In winter, temperatures below −45 °C (−49 °F) are possible even in the south during extreme cold snaps.
Saskatchewan has been inhabited for thousands of years by various indigenous groups, and first explored by Europeans in 1690 and settled in 1774. It became a province in 1905, carved out from the vast North-West Territories, which had until then included most of the Canadian Prairies. In the early 20th century the province became known as a stronghold for Canadian social democracy; North America's first social-democratic government was elected in 1944. The province's economy is based on agriculture, mining, and energy. Saskatchewan's current lieutenant governor is Thomas Molloy and the current premier is Scott Moe.
In 1992, the federal and provincial governments signed a historic land claim agreement with First Nations in Saskatchewan. The First Nations received compensation and were permitted to buy land on the open market for the bands; they have acquired about 3,079 square kilometres (761,000 acres; 1,189 sq mi), now reserve lands. Some First Nations have used their settlement to invest in urban areas, including Saskatoon.

This Place Matters Prince Albert Downtown
Kistahpinanihk – the meeting place for at least ten thousand years.
As its oldest city (first established in 1866) - Prince Albert is the true heart of Saskatchewan. On these very banks of the great North Saskatchewan River, people have been trading and engaging in dialogue for over 240 years. Since its founding- Prince Albert has been the Gateway to the North, and served as the capital of the District of Saskatchewan in what was then Northwest Territories.
Three of Canada’s Prime Ministers- Sir Wilfrid Laurier, William Lyon Mackenzie King and the champion of our Canadian Bill of Rights- John George Diefenbaker walked these very streets, discussed ideas and shopped at businesses like Ted Matheson Menswear ’s- established in 1929!
Prince Albert Downtown has changed a lot over the last 150 years. Many of the historic buildings have been renovated and now boast some of the finest dining establishments in Saskatchewan including the award-winning Rock Trout Café, Bison Café and Rusty Owl. Cultural diversity is reflected by the number of businesses started by many new arrivals to Canada who have all chosen to call Prince Albert home.
A broad range of retailers offer Customers a selection of the finest merchandise from all over the world- including specialized retailers dedicated to providing new food experiences from the Philippines, Ukraine, Malaysia, South Africa and the best selection of home-grown, home-made produce at the Prince Albert Farmers’ Market. The annual Prince Albert Street Fair is one of the largest annual events in Saskatchewan, and a highlight for many of the 300+ businesses that comprise this thriving Community.
With live music, regular wine and whiskey tastings, museums, conferences, conventions, art exhibitions and cultural events- Prince Albert Downtown is sitting pretty, and has reclaimed its position as a great meeting place.
Prince Albert Downtown is the ONLY Community in Saskatchewan in this year's #ThisPlaceMatters Competition. Our fundraiser is for wayfinders and signage along our main roads into Prince Albert, Saskatchewan that will draw more visitors to Prince Albert Downtown.

SUMMARY
=======
The British Museum, located in the Bloomsbury area of London, in the United Kingdom, is a public institution dedicated to human history, art and culture. Its permanent collection numbers some 8 million works, and is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence having been widely sourced during the era of the British Empire, and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present. It is the first national public museum in the world.The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the Irish physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. It first opened to the public on 15 January 1759, in Montagu House, on the site of the current building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries was largely a result of expanding British colonisation and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions, the first being the British Museum (Natural History) – now the Natural History Museum – in 1881.
In 1973, the British Library Act 1972 detached the library department from the British Museum, but it continued to host the now separated British Library in the same Reading Room and building as the museum until 1997. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and as with all other national museums in the United Kingdom it charges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions.Its ownership of some of its most famous objects originating in other countries is disputed and remains the subject of international controversy, most notably in the case of the Parthenon Marbles.
