Saskatchewan鈥檚 population grew by another 17,396 people in 2014 to an all-time high of 1,132,640, according to new figures released by Statistics Canada.
Premier Brad Wall said the continued growth shows the strength of the province and its economy.
鈥�2014 was the eighth straight year that our population has grown by more than one and a half per cent 鈥� the strongest period of population growth since the early days of our province,鈥� Wall said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a big change from a decade ago when so many young people were leaving and our population was declining.鈥�
Saskatchewan鈥檚 2014 growth rate of 1.56 per cent was the second-highest in Canada, behind only Alberta.聽 Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC were the only provinces with positive net inter-provincial migration in 2014
