Police say it caused minimal damage and did not require a response from the fire department.

A joint investigation was launched due to recent arson activity in the building.

He is scheduled to appear in Prince Albert provincial court on Sept. 15. His name has not been released under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
