‘Saskatchewan’s best days are still ahead’ Premier Brad Wall says as latest population numbers released
The Saskatchewan government is celebrating its growing population, as the number of people in the province hit an estimated 1,168,057 in October, according to data released Wednesday by Statistics Canada.
That number reflects growth in the province’s population following years of decline. According to Statistics Canada, there were 1,009,613 people in the province back in 1986 — previously the highest population recorded in the province — but the number declined after that, hitting 968,157 in 2006.
