ulation increase primarily in and around these
industrial areas.
Saskatchewan is seeing a steady inflow of
people immigrating to the province, and to Sas-
katoon in particular— whether they’re Canadi-
ans from abroad or international immigrants.
What seems to be driving this is a strong potash
mining sector, and a smaller specialty mining
sector along with a budding oil industry that is
doing very well. Not very many people outside
of the province and industry may be aware of
it, but there is a thriving mining industry in Sas-
katchewan in gold, diamonds and special gems.
This means more business for the supply and
machine shops with equipment and repairs for
the mining companies.
“As long as we have this growth in migra-
tion into Saskatchewan here, I find that the
housing market will of course continue to be
strong. We still get the upward and downward
trends throughout the year. Those are seasonal
trends.”
