The term was first introduced in the Canada 2011 Census; prior to that, Statistics Canada used the term urban area.[1]

In the 2011 census, Statistics Canada listed 63 population centres in the province of Saskatchewan. This includes the Saskatchewan portions of the Flin Flon and Lloydminster population centres that span the provincial border.[2]
