A village is a type of incorporated urban municipality in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. 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.
  • Saskatchewan has 260 villages that had a cumulative population of 43,136 and an average population of 166 in the 2011 Census. Saskatchewan's largest village is Caronport with a population of 1,068, while Dafoe, Keeler, Krydor and Valparaiso are the province's smallest villages with populations of 15 each.

    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.
