Saskatchewan’s population continued to grow in the third quarter of 2013.
As of Oct. 1 there were 1,114,170 people living in Saskatchewan – an increase of 5,867 in the previous three months and 19,797 over the past year.
The quarterly and annual growth rates in Saskatchewan were both the second-highest among the provinces, behind only Alberta.
Saskatchewan and Alberta were also the only two provinces to see positive net migration from other provinces in the past quarter.
Saskatchewan’s net interprovincial migration of 637 people came primarily from British Columbia (271), New Brunswick (105), Alberta (91) and Quebec (70).
The remainder of Saskatchewan’s population gain came from net international migration of 3,510 and a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 1,720.
Premier Brad Wall said Saskatchewan remains on track to achieve his government’s growth plan goal of 1.2 million people by 2020.
