List of cities in Alberta

In Alberta, to be called a city, a place needs to have at least 10,000 people. Also, most of its buildings should be on land smaller than 1,850 square meters. However, not every community with these features is automatically a city. Some places, like Fort McMurray and Sherwood Park, have enough people to be cities, but they are still known as hamlets. Also, there are ten towns that could become cities because they are big enough, but they have chosen to stay as towns.

There are 19 cities in Alberta. The most recent one to become a city is Beaumont, which changed from being a town on January 1, 2019.

List of Cities in Ontario

Ontario is home to 52 cities. In this province, becoming a city is a decision made by the provincial government, usually after the local municipality asks for it. A place can ask to be called a city once it has more than 10,000 people. But just having this many people doesn't make it a city automatically. The local government has to ask, and the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has to agree. Not every place with more than 10,000 people wants to be a city. For instance, Ajax, Oakville, and Whitby all had over 100,000 people in 2011, but they are still known as towns. Once a place is named a city, it stays a city, even if the number of people living there goes below 10,000 later, like what happened in Dryden. The most recent place in Ontario to become a city is Richmond Hill. It used to be a town but became a city on March 25, 2019.

Cities in Quebec

In Quebec, the provincial law currently doesn't define any places as cities, even though the term is recognized. The word "ville" in Quebec's law means a "township", but people often call it a town or a city in English. This choice of words depends on what feels right and doesn't follow a strict rule. In Quebec, there are three types of municipalities: cities (cités), townships (villes), and municipalities (municipalités). There are 223 places in Quebec known as "villes."

List of Cities in Saskatchewan

In Saskatchewan, to become a city, a town must have at least 5,000 people. This rule is set out in Section 39(1) of The Cities Act. However, some places like Saskatoon and Regina became cities in the early 20th century even though they had fewer people. Melville is still called a city even though its population fell below 5,000 in the 1990s. Kindersley is thinking about becoming a city once it has 5,000 people. The most recent place to become a city in Saskatchewan is Warman. It changed from a town to a city on October 24, 2012. There are 16 cities in Saskatchewan.

Cities in Yukon

In the Yukon, like in the other two Canadian territories, there is only one incorporated city, which is the capital, Whitehorse. Dawson used to be a city too, but in the 1980s, the rules for being a city changed. Because there weren't enough people living there, Dawson became a town. But, it was still called the town of the city of Dawson until 2001 because of a special rule.
