Saskatchewan's Population Continues to Grow

Released on June 17, 2015

Saskatchewan continues to be one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada according to new population estimates released today by Statistics Canada.

As of April 1, 2015, there were 1,134,402 people living in Saskatchewan, an increase of 1,762 in the past quarter and an increase of 14,273 in the past year.  Saskatchewan had the second highest growth rate among the provinces in the past year and the third highest in the past quarter.


“Even with the challenges of a lower oil price, Saskatchewan continues to grow at a faster pace than most other provinces,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said.  “Our diverse economy is a tremendous advantage and will help keep Saskatchewan strong.”

Saskatchewan has now had population growth every quarter for the past nine years.  That’s the longest period of continuous growth since the late 1970s and early 1980s.
