From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saskatoon Region is the metropolitan area based around Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The region has a population in excess of 265,000 as of 2010[2]
The area is served by the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport, the 22nd busiest airport in the country.
Unlike many major North American urbanized areas, yet similarly to other prairie centres in Canada, Saskatoon developed as a unicity as it incorporated most of its suburbs into the city proper. In the past, when the city limits reached the borders of neighboring municipalities, such as Sutherland and Nutana, they were simply annexed into the population of Saskatoon. The vast majority of the region's inhabitants reside within the City of Saskatoon proper whose civic population has itself well surpassed the 200,000 mark.[3]
