Martensville: Growing with Energy
A City on the Rise
Only eight kilometres north of Saskatoon, Martensville is home to just over 10,500 people and is known for its fresh neighbourhoods, affordable housing, and strong sense of community. Families love its perfect blend: a cozy, small-town feel with big-city access right next door.
Beyond its roots, Martensville is one of Western Canada’s fastest-growing cities. Over the last decade, it’s boasted an average growth rate of about 7%, with a population where three-quarters are under the age of 45—meaning a vibrant, energetic, family-first community. The city also enjoys one of the lowest municipal-commercial property tax gaps in the province—making it a smart, affordable place to call home.
Surrounded by parks, lakes, and a trail system that effortlessly connects neighbourhoods, Martensville offers something for residents year-round. Whether it’s ice skating on canal-linked ponds in winter, hitting the splash park in summer, or cheering at recreation facilities throughout the year, there’s always something to bring the community together.

Business Momentum
Nearly 400 businesses—from charming local boutiques to service providers—set Martensville buzzing with entrepreneurial spirit. The city’s business-friendly mindset helps them flourish, encouraging both new ventures and steady growth.
Martensville sits along Highway 12, one of Saskatchewan’s busiest arteries, with over 15,000 vehicles passing by daily. This prime exposure fuels foot traffic to local stores and opportunities for expansion. New commercial hubs, like the Black Iron Crossing and Trilogy Ranch subdivisions, are opening space for offices, shops, and start-ups to plant roots.
The city’s rising commercial assessment—now contributing over 10% of municipal revenues—reflects booming development, plus a surge in building permits and storefront growth. Whether you’re launching a new service or showcasing community contributions, Martensville’s economic rise offers plenty of room to grow with it.

Play, Cheer, Compete
Martensville’s Recreation Centre is more than a rink—it’s a community heartbeat. The dazzling 145,000 sq ft facility includes full-size ice, indoor turf, a climbing wall, a playground, meeting rooms, and even retail space. Opened in early 2025 through a decade-long grassroots fundraising journey, it’s where families, athletes, and neighbours now gather to play, cheer, and celebrate together.
Beyond that centerpiece, Martensville’s athletic life is vibrant. The Athletic Pavilion, Sports Centre, aquatic complex, and skatepark make for a packed calendar of leagues, drop-ins, and summer splash days. Home teams like the Royals, Maddogs, and Mustangs add hometown pride on the rink or field, and the city even hosts a NASCAR Canada stop each fall—where the roar of engines perfectly complements the roar of the crowd.
Kinsmen Park, with expansive green spaces, walking trails, and fitness areas, adds to the upbeat vibe. Throw in the annual Buster Days festival, with its parade, games, and volleyball tournament, and you’ve got a place that lives and breathes activity season after.
