Census 2021

Statistics Canada has released the 2021 Census data that shows a 5.1% increase in population for Prince Albert. The population grew from 35,926 (2016) to 37,756 (2021). This compares to the provincial population data which shows Saskatchewan’s population grew by 3.1%

2016    35,926

2021    37,756

The increase in population is welcome news for Prince Albert as grants from senior governments are based on per-capita funding models. The more people counted the more the City receives to pay for services and infrastructure. 

“Last year we asked residents to fill out their census and many of you did your part,” said Mayor Dionne. ”Thank-you to everyone that took the time to be counted.”
