Tucked within the Rural Municipality of Webb No. 138 in Census Division No. 8, the village of Webb is a small Saskatchewan community with a modest but notable footprint. As of the 2021 Census conducted by Statistics Canada, Webb recorded a population of 71 residents living in 33 of its 43 total private dwellings, spread across a land area of 1.23 square kilometres. That translates to a population density of roughly 57.7 people per square kilometre. The growth between the 2016 and 2021 censuses was particularly striking, with the population rising 42 percent from just 50 residents in 2016. That earlier count itself represented a decline from the 2011 figure of 58, meaning the village has experienced both dips and recoveries over the past decade.
Webb was officially incorporated as a village on June 18, 1910, giving it a history stretching back well over a century. The community carries the weight of a profound tragedy in its past: a 1980 CP Rail crew bus crash claimed the lives of 22 men, an event that remains one of the most significant moments in the village’s history. Despite its small size, Webb endures as a living community within the Canadian prairies.
