The Mini-Façade grant is a $1,000  grant available to businesses  in the Prince Albert Downtown district. 

The funding for the mini-façade grant comes from the Downtown Reserve Fund.  

​Many businesses have taken advantage of the funding.  
​
If you are interested in updating your storefront please contact our PADBID office at (306) 763-1802.  Please note that we have included the purchase and installation of security cameras (interior and exterior) as part of our Mini-Facade criteria.
Even a small investment through the PADBID Reserve fund has been able to generate signification returns not only financially but also through pride in our community, culture and heritage.
