Birch Hills Saskatchewan Information

Birch Hills is a town located in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located southeast of Prince Albert and the reserve of Muskoday First Nation. Directly to the west is the village of St. Louis, and to the east is Kinistino. It is surrounded by, but not part of, Birch Hills Rural Municipality No. 460. _x000D_ The community takes its name from hills in the area, which were once heavily treed with birches that were used in manufacturing birch bark canoes during the fur trade era of the 18th century. The countryside around Birch Hills is part of the aspen parkland biome. _x000D_ Situated in an area settled primarily by Norwegian, British and Anglo-Metis peoples, Birch Hills became a village in 1907 and reached town status in 1960. Unlike many other agriculturally based towns, it continues to grow due to its position as a satellite community of Prince Albert. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Birch Hills had a population of 1,066 living in 450 of its 475 total private dwellings, a change of 3.2% from its 2016 population of 1,033. With a land area of 2.39 km2 (0.92 sq mi), it had a population density of 446.0/km2 (1,155.2/sq mi) in 2021. _x000D_ 52°59?N 105°26?W? / ?52.983°N 105.433°W? / 52.983; -105.433?
