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 250 villages[1] that had a cumulative population of 41,514 and an average population of 166 in the 2016 census.[3] Saskatchewan's largest village is Caronport with a population of 994, while Ernfold, Keeler, Krydor, Valparaiso and Waldron are the province's smallest villages with populations of 15 each.[3]
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.
The following is a list of former villages in Saskatchewan that have been restructured into another municipality, such as a rural municipality, resort village or city.[6]
