Northern Saskatchewan Health Indicators
Key Messages
The two main data sources used in this report include the Saskatchewan Covered Population, used for
community area, health centre service area, and health authority estimates and the Statistics Canada
Annual Population estimates used for individual communities and First Nations community status areas.
Additional information on First Nations populations can be found with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern
Development Canada.

In 2015, close to 40,000 individuals lived in northern Saskatchewan. Compared to the province,
the northern health authorities have larger proportions of their populations in the younger age
categories, while most of Saskatchewan’s population is in the middle and older age groups.

The northern Saskatchewan health authorities have between 27.9 and 31.8 % of the population
that is less than 15 years of age and only between 4.7 and 6.9% of the population aged 65 years
and above. Saskatchewan has 19.3% less than 15 years and 14.5% that is 65 years and above.

The northern Saskatchewan health authorities continue to have growing populations, increasing
between 11.6 and 12.4% over the last 10 years. This equated to changes of 268, 838, and 2704
individuals in AHA, KY and MCR, respectively. Similarly, Saskatchewan increased by 14.5% over
the same time period, which equated into an increase of 145,212 individuals.

There have been shifts in the population over the last 20 years. Compared to 1996, in 2015
there have been decreases of between 6.3 and 9.0% in the proportion of the population less
than 15 years of age within the three northern health authorities. At the same time, the
proportion of the population aged 65 and over has increased between 1.1 and 2%. During the
same time period, the proportion of the population less than 15 years of age in Saskatchewan
decreased by 3.4%, while the proportion of the population aged 65 and over increased by 0.1%.

Dependency ratio is the ratio of the combined child population (aged 0 to 19) and elderly
population (aged 65 and over) compared to the working age population (aged 20 to 64). In 2014,
MCRHR along with KYHR and AHA had the highest dependency ratios of all health authorities in
Canada. Most of the dependency ratio in the north is attributable to the under 20 population,
which makes up over 40% of the population. In comparison, Saskatchewan’s dependency ratio is
more affected by the elder population, which makes up approximately 15% of its population.

Over 85% of northern Saskatchewan people identify themselves as Aboriginal, compared to 15%
in Saskatchewan. The proportion of Aboriginal people in the northern health authorities ranges
from 82.5% in MCRHR to 95.9% in AHA. The proportion of the northern Saskatchewan
population that self-identifies as Aboriginal is similar to some northern Canadian regions but is
substantially higher than others.

Close to 68% of the people in northern Saskatchewan identify themselves as First Nations, 19%
as Metis, and fewer than 14% as non-Aboriginal. In contrast, 84% of the total Saskatchewan
population self-identifies as non-Aboriginal, 5% as Métis, and 10% as First Nations.

Although northern communities share many commonalities, they also vary greatly among one
another in terms of population structures, growth rates, and self-reported Aboriginal identity.

Appendix A - Data Notes
1. Data Sources
Saskatchewan Covered Population – Covered Population is based on eligibility for health insurance
benefits in Saskatchewan. All residents of Saskatchewan are included except: (a) members of the
Canadian Forces and inmates of federal prisons and (b) people not yet meeting the residency
requirement. The covered population estimates are derived from the person health registry system
which collects information on multiple addresses, when available, in an attempt to distinguish between
correspondence (i.e. mailing address) and residence addresses. In northern Saskatchewan, many
communities share postal codes and thus it is difficult to determine exactly which community the person
lives in. For example, La Ronge, Air Ronge, and several Lac La Ronge communities share two postal
codes. First Nations are assigned residence based on band affiliation. In southern Saskatchewan, some
reassignment of residence codes occurs based on additional residence information; however this does
not occur in northern Saskatchewan due to the difficulty in distinguishing between residence on
reserves and northern towns and villages. As a result, individuals may be assigned to a band but not an
actual community. For example, many individuals are assigned to the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation as
opposed to the communities of Pelican Narrows, Sandy Bay, Deschambault Lake, Southend, or Sturgeon
Landing. As a result of these limitations, the covered population is thought to be a good estimation of
the populations for community areas, health centre service areas, and health authorities but not
individual northern communities. For further details on the covered population methodology please
refer to the 2015 covered population website (http://population.health.gov.sk.ca/main.htm).
Statistics Canada Annual Population Estimates – Every year, the PHU purchases data from Statistics
Canada containing population estimates for First Nations community status areas and census
subdivisions that fall within the boundaries of AHA, KY and MCR. First Nations community status areas
are defined by the PHU using Statistics Canada defined census subdivisions. The estimates are currently
based on the 2011 census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage (including adjustment for
incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and population reviews). The years between 2001 and 2010
are considered final intercensal estimates, 2011 is considered a final postcensal estimate, 2012-2013 are
considered updated postcensal estimates, and 2014 is considered a preliminary postcensal estimate. As
the Statistics Canada estimates are based more on residence address as opposed to correspondence
address (i.e. mailing address), these estimates are thought to be better at estimating individual
community and First Nations community status area populations.
2011 National Household Survey (NHS) – The NHS provides information about the demographic, social
and economic characteristics of people living in Canada, as well as the housing units in which they live.
Previous to 2011, this information was collected by the mandatory long-form census questionnaire;
however, in 2011, major changes in the format resulted in this data being collected as part of the
voluntary NHS. The survey was distributed to a random sample of 33% of all private dwellings in Canada,
which resulted in varying response rates. Data has been released at various levels of geography
including Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas/census agglomerations, census
divisions, census subdivisions, census tracts, federal electoral districts and health regions.

Dependency Ratio CANSIM Table – Statistics Canada. Table 109-5346 - Dependency ratio (2011 Census
and administrative data), by age group for July 1st, Canada, provinces, territories, health regions (2014
boundaries) and peer groups, annual.
2. Definitions
Dependency Ratio – The ratio of the combined population aged between 0 to 19 years old and the
population aged of 65 years and over, to the population aged between 20 to 64 years old. This ratio is
usually presented as the number of dependents for every 100 people in the working age population.
Census Subdivision (CSD) Name – Census subdivision is the general term for municipalities (as
determined by provincial/territorial legislation) or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical
purposes (e.g., Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories). First Nations
communities are often split into many separate land holding areas. For example, the community of Fond
du Lac is broken up into Fond du Lac 227, 229, 231, and 232.
Revised Name – The revised name uses the more commonly used community name and combines many
individual First Nations IRI’s into one. For example, Black Lake is used instead of Chicken 224 and 225.
Please see Appendix B for a list of revised names by their corresponding CSD characteristics.
Common Name – The common name uses the more commonly used community name. Unlike the
revised name it does not combine the individual First Nations communities into one larger region. This is
because it is referring to NHS data that uses random rounding processes which would result in a
compounding error by adding smaller communities into a larger area.
First Nations Community Status Area – These areas refer to First Nations communities that would
generally be considered living “on or off-reserve” in relation to many, although not all, public health and
primary care services they receive. This definition of “on or off-reserve” is derived within the PHU and
may not match up identically with other definitions such as census geographies. For example, Pelican
Narrows IRI and Pelican Narrows are both considered “on-reserve” using the PHU definition. Please see
Appendix C for a list of First Nations community status areas by revised names and CSD characteristics.
Community Area – A community area is a grouping of several communities that are generally in close
proximity, often share postal codes and are difficult to separate into their individual communities.
However, by grouping these communities together we are able to more accurately describe the subregion as a whole by various characteristics. Please see Appendix D for a list of rescodes by community
areas.
Health Centre Service Area – Health centre service areas group communities based on their proximity to
one another as well as the tendency for the individuals within those communities to receive
hospital/health centre services from certain locations. This is, in part, due to the geographic spread of
northern communities resulting in vastly different travel distances between communities and local
health centres. For example, it is more realistic for individuals living in Creighton, SK to seek hospital
services in Flin Flon, Manitoba then it is to travel to La Ronge, SK to receive those services. Please see
Appendix E for a list of rescodes by health centre service areas.

Northern Saskatchewan Health Indicators
Global Non-response Rate (GNR) – For the 2011 NHS estimates, the GNR is used as an indicator of data
quality. This indicator combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response
(question) into a single rate. A higher GNR indicates a higher risk of non-response bias and as a result, a
higher risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR of 50% or more.
Aboriginal Identity – In the 2011 NHS, 'Aboriginal identity' refers to whether the person reported being
an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit) and/or being a
Registered or Treaty Indian (that is, registered under the Indian Act of Canada) and/or being a member
of a First Nation or Indian band.
