As well as being a heritage site, it is still in operation today as the Margo Fournier Arts Centre for a variety of arts and culture opportunities, arts guilds, a community pottery studio, and the John V. Hicks Gallery for exhibitions, which feature local and regional art exhibitions coordinated by the Prince Albert Council for the Arts.[2] Between 1911 and 1937, the old City Hall helped to house the Prince Albert Public Library in its upstairs rooms.[3]
