List of villages in Saskatchewan
A village is a type of incorporated urban municipality in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[1] A village is created from an organized hamlet by the Minister of Municipal Affairs by ministerial order via section 51 of The Municipalities Act if the community has:
- been an organized hamlet for three or more years;
- a population of 100 or more;
- 50 or more dwellings or businesses; and
- a taxable assessment base that meets a prescribed minimum.[2]
Saskatchewan has 260 villages[1] that had a cumulative population of 43,136 and an average population of 166 in the 2011 Census.[3][4] Saskatchewan's largest village is Caronport with a population of 1,068, while Dafoe, Keeler, Krydor and Valparaiso are the province's smallest villages with populations of 15 each.[3][4]
A village council may request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to change its status to a town if the village has a population of 500 or more.
