A resort village is a municipal classification in Saskatchewan for small communities centred on seasonal recreation, typically at lakes or other vacation destinations. Resort villages have permanent populations under defined thresholds but significant seasonal residents who own cottages or vacation properties. They're governed by elected councils like other municipalities but may have special provisions reflecting their seasonal character. Resort villages face unique challenges: infrastructure must handle peak seasonal demand, services must be provided with limited permanent tax base, and governance must balance interests of permanent and seasonal residents. Saskatchewan is among the few provinces with this distinct municipal classification.
