==Cities==
In Saskatchewan, towns must have a population above 5,000 in order to be granted [[city status]].<ref name="citiesAct"/> A city does not automatically revert to town status if the population drops below 5,000; this only occurs if the city council requests it, the majority of electors vote to revert to town status, or the appropriate provincial minister is of the opinion that the reversion to town status is in the public interest.<ref name="citiesAct"/> The city of [[Melville, Saskatchewan|Melville]] retains city status as of 2010 despite dropping below 5,000 population in the 1990s.
As of February 2010, there are fifteen cities in Saskatchewan, counting [[Lloydminster]] but not counting [[Flin Flon]].<ref name="aboutSaskMunip"/>In August of 2009, it was announced that both [[Martensville, Saskatchewan|Martensville]] and [[Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan|Meadow Lake]] would achieve city status, on November 3rd and November 9th respectively.<ref name="Gov of Sask">{{cite web

==Towns==
{{main|List of towns in Saskatchewan}}
In Saskatchewan, [[town]]s are formed from villages or resort villages with a population of at least 500 people.<ref name="munact"/> The council of the village or resort village must request the change to town status.
When a town's population exceeds 5,000 people, the council may request a change to [[List of cities in Canada#Saskatchewan|city]] status, but the change in [[Incorporation (municipal government)|incorporation]] level is not mandatory. Towns with shrinking populations are allowed to retain town status even if the number of residents falls below the 500 limit. For example, the towns of [[Fleming, Saskatchewan|Fleming]], [[Francis, Saskatchewan|Francis]], and [[Scott, Saskatchewan|Scott]] have populations that have dropped under 500 people and are still qualified under town status. Towns with populations below the limit may, however, revert to village or resort village status if the town council requests it.
As of February 2010, there are 145 towns in Saskatchewan.<ref name="aboutSaskMunip"/>
