Tell us a joke about your city.
My city is known as a tough Northern Saskatchewan town. I Love it. Most small towns have signs when you come in saying Home of whoever is from there that played in the NHL. My town had Dave Manson, and now his son Josh plays in the NHL, so perfect my city should say Welcome to Prince Albert Home of The Manson Family.
