  • Newcomers storm Saskatchewan: as province exceeds 1M population, a booming economy beckons

    By February 15, 2012

    Reversing a longstanding trend, the last five years has seen more people move to Saskatchewan than leave, according to new census data that show the province making a sharp turnaround in growth after years of decline. For the first time since 1986, there are more than one million residents living in the province.

    The rise in population, Statistics Canada says, is mainly the result of a wave of immigration and a spike in interprovincial migration, both groups likely drawn to the province’s red-hot economy and the high likelihood of landing a job.
