This is a list of incorporated cities of Canada in alphabetical order categorized by province. More thorough lists of communities are available for each province.

A map showing the provincial capitals and provinces of Canada

Significant cities People, businesses and organizations originating in a number of Canadian cities have impacted the world.

Canada's provincial and territory capital cities include: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (capital city of Prince Edward Island), Edmonton, Alberta (capital city of Alberta), Fredericton, New Brunswick (capital city of New Brunswick), Halifax Regional Municipality, (capital city of Nova Scotia), Iqaluit, Nunavut (capital city of Nunavut), Quebec City (capital city of Quebec), Regina, Saskatchewan (capital city of Saskatchewan), St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador), Toronto (capital city of Ontario), Victoria, British Columbia (capital city of British Columbia), Whitehorse, Yukon (capital city of Yukon), Winnipeg, Manitoba (capital city of Manitoba) and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (capital city of Northwest Territories).

















==Alberta==To qualify as a city in Alberta, a sufficient population size (over 10,000 people) must be present and a majority of the buildings must be on parcels of land smaller than 1850 square metres. A community is not always Municipal corporation as a city even if it meets these requirements. For example, Fort McMurray, Alberta merged with Improvement District No. 18 in 1995 to form the Wood Buffalo, Alberta. As a result, it lost its city status and is officially known as a Hamlet (place). Some communities attained city status without reaching the 10,000-population threshold, such as Drumheller, Alberta (which reverted to town status in 1997). Sherwood Park, Alberta, despite having ample qualifications to be a city, has chosen to remain, legally, a hamlet.



British Columbia In British Columbia, a community can be incorporated as a city if its population exceeds 5,000. Government of British Columba - Local Government Act Once so incorporated, a city does not lose this status even if its population later declines; the once-thriving city of Greenwood, British Columbia, for example, now has a population of just 695 people.



Manitoba

New Brunswick

Newfoundland and Labrador

Northwest Territories

Nova Scotia Nova Scotia no longer has any incorporated cities, as they were amalgamated into Regional Municipality in the 1990s.



Nunavut

Ontario In Ontario, city status is conferred by the provincial government, generally upon the request of the incorporated municipality. A municipality may apply for city status anytime after its population surpasses 10,000. Not all municipalities which reach this population target have pursued city designation (as, for example, Markham, Ontario, Ajax, Ontario and Oakville, Ontario). Once designated a city, however, a municipality does not lose this status even if its population later falls back below 10,000 (as, for example, Dryden, Ontario.)

City status may also be conferred on some rural county which have been amalgamated such that all municipal governance takes place at the county level with no further municipal subdivisions. Thus, city status in Ontario does not always connote a primarily urbanized community.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (Ontario) is responsible for laws surrounding the incorporation and administration of municipal governments in Ontario.



Prince Edward Island

Québec In Québec, provincial law does not currently distinguish between towns and cities — one designation, ville, covers both types of communities regardless of size. A ville might be informally referred to as a town or a city in English language, but this is an arbitrary and subjective distinction. Québec does, however, distinguish between villes and other types of incorporated municipalities, such as municipality and Indian reserve. Québec did at one time distinguish between villes and cités, but no longer does.

All municipalities in Québec which have ville status are listed here, regardless of whether they are considered towns or cities in unofficial usage.



Saskatchewan In Saskatchewan, towns must maintain a population above 5,000 and meet other criteria in order to be granted city status, although in the early 20th century several centres such as Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan were granted city status despite having a smaller population. The city of Melville, Saskatchewan retains city status as of 2006 despite dropping below 5,000 population in the 1990s. Kindersley, Saskatchewan, with a population that fluctuates around the 5,000 mark, has applied for city status in recent years.
