From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A town is a type of incorporated urban municipality in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. [1] A resort village or a village can be incorporated as a town by the Minister of Municipal Affairs via section 52 of The Municipalities Act if:

  • Requested by the council of the resort village or village; and
  • the resort village or village has a population of 500 or more. [2]

Saskatchewan has 146 towns [1] that had a cumulative population of 137,725 and an average population of 943 in the 2011 Census. [3] [4] Saskatchewan's largest and smallest towns are Kindersley and Scott with populations of 4,678 and 75 respectively. [3]

A city can be created from a town by the Minister of Municipal Affairs by ministerial order via section 39 of The Cities Act if the town has a population of 5,000 or more and the change in status is requested by the town council. [5]
