Saskatchewan's population grew by more than 30,000 in 2023 to an all-time high of 1,225,493, according to new population figures released today by Statistics Canada.
From December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2023, Saskatchewan grew by 30,624 people. That's the biggest population increase in a single calendar year since 1914.
"Saskatchewan continues to grow and our government is meeting the challenges of growth with a budget that invests in classrooms, care and communities," Premier Scott Moe said. "A growing province means more good jobs and opportunities for Saskatchewan people."
In the fourth quarter of 2023 (October 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023), Saskatchewan's population increased by 6,517 people.
"Our government will keep working to ensure a growing province, a strong economy and a bright future."
