PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – A baby girl was delivered Sunday at a hotel in Prince Albert, Sask. with the help of Parkland Ambulance. Just after 7 a.m., paramedics were called to the hotel in the 3600-block of 2nd Avenue West.
A Saskatchewan family was in the city for the baby’s arrival but the birth came too quickly for them to make it to the hospital by car, according to Lyle Karasiuk, a spokesperson with Parkland Ambulance.
