NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Lloydminster

Lloydminster is a Canadian city which has the unusual geographic distinction of straddling a provincial border. Unlike most such cases, Lloydminster is not a pair of twin cities on opposite sides of a border which merely share the same name, but is actually incorporated as a single city with a single municipal administration.

The Alberta and Saskatchewan sides of the city each rank 11th in municipal population for their respective provinces. If the city were entirely in one province or the other, Lloydminster's population would rank ninth in Alberta and fifth in Saskatchewan.

History

Intended to be an exclusively British Utopian settlement centred around the idea of sobriety, the town was founded in 1903 by the Barr Colonists, who came directly from the British Isles. At a time when the area was still part of the Northwest Territories, the town was located astride the Fourth Meridian of the Dominion Land Survey. This meridian was intended to coincide with 110° west longitude although the imperfect surveying methods of the time led to the meridian being placed a few hundred meters west of this longitude. See Utopia (disambiguation) for other meanings of this word Utopia, in its most common and general meaning, refers to a hypothetical perfect society. ...

The town was named for Anglican Bishop George Exton Lloyd, a strong opponent of non-British immigration to Canada. During a nearly disastrous immigration journey, which was badly planned and conducted^[1], he distinguished himself with the colonists and replaced the Barr Colony's leader and namesake Isaac Montgomery Barr during the colonists' journey to the eventual townsite. The Church of England is the officially established Christian church[1] in England, and acts as the mother and senior branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion, as well as a founding member of the Porvoo Communion. ...

When the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created in 1905, the Fourth Meridian was selected as the border, bisecting the town. For the next quarter century, Lloydminster remained two separate towns with two separate municipal administrations, but in 1930 the provincial governments agreed to amalgamate the towns into a single town under shared jurisdiction. The provinces, again jointly, reincorporated Lloydminster as a city in 1958. 1905 (MCMV) was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ...

Although the majority of Lloydminster's population once lived in Saskatchewan, that ratio has long since been reversed. With the bulk of the city's recent growth taking place on the Alberta side of the border, it has become known to most Canadians as Lloydminster, Alberta.

Economy and taxation

The local economy is driven primarily by the booming petroleum industry. Many new projects including an expansion to the Husky Upgrader are in place or planned for the near future.

Lloydminster's bi-provincial status has resulted in special provisions regarding provincial taxation within the city limits. Perhaps most significant is that the Saskatchewan side is exempt from that province's sales tax. This allows businesses in that province to compete on a more equal footing with businesses in Alberta, which has no PST. A sales tax is a state or locality imposed percentage tax on the selling or renting of certain property or services. ... Look up Business in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... In Canada there are three types of sales taxes: provincial sales taxes, the federal GST and the HST in Atlantic Canada. ...

These exemptions do not apply to provincial income tax, which is based entirely on the taxpayer's province of residence. The fact that Alberta's income tax rates are substantially lower than those in Saskatchewan (even after Alberta's health care premiums are taken into account) is usually cited as a key reason for the city's recent growth being almost entirely on the Alberta side (possibly due to the "Alberta Advantage"). However, recent growth in Saskatchewan, although not yet on pace with that in Alberta, has been driven by a need for affordable housing to a point where Lloydminster has become Saskatchewan's fastest-growing city as of 2006.

Miscellaneous

There are substantial demographic differences between the populations on each side of the border, with the population on the Saskatchewan side being substantially younger. This is likely due to the fact that for most young adults and especially for males under 25 years of age, the savings in provincial income tax would be negated by the significantly higher automobile insurance premiums demanded by Alberta's private insurance providers.

Lloydminster's unique situation is reflected in other legal matters, including its time zone. Alberta has a law requiring the use of daylight saving time throughout the province; Saskatchewan has a law prohibiting the same. However, Lloydminster's charter allows it to use daylight saving time on both sides of the provincial border; this places the city in the Mountain Standard Time Zone and synchronizes clocks with those of Alberta. However, Lloydminster was not exempted from a strict new anti-smoking law passed by Saskatchewan's legislature. A bylaw extending the smoking ban citywide was passed in a referendum in October 2006 and will take effect on January 1, 2007.

Due to Lloydminster's beginnings as an anti-alcohol Utopian society, alcohol was not available in Lloydminster for the first few years after its founding. The early Utopianists believed that drink was the single most destructive factor in society, leading to such things as abuse of children and women. A bylaw prohibiting nude entertainment remains on the books. A bylaw (sometimes also seen as by-law or Byelaw) was originally the Viking town law in the Danelaw. ...
