Saskatchewan's population boom not slowing down

Saskatchewan's population grew to 1,023,810 people on January 1, 2009, an increase of more than 15,000 people from January 1, 2008.

New figures released from Statistics Canada today show that Saskatchewan's population grew by .29 percent in 2008. The only provinces with faster growth rates were Alberta and British Columbia.

Saskatchewan's population has grown by almost 3 thousand people since October 1st of last year, and all signs are pointing to continued growth in the first quarter of 2009.

The population growth should result in a continued strong housing market in the province.
