Since the creation of
Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1905, one of
Lloydminster's most challenging
obstacles has been its bi-provinciality. From its time as two
separate entities, the Town of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and the Village of
Lloydminster, Alberta, to the 1930 amalgamation, to the present challenges of
governing a city based in two provinces, the issue is explored in its
entirety.
What makes Lloydminster unique is that it is ONE municipality in TWO provinces. The ongoing success at overcoming our bi-provincial tensions and fostering a united community spirit is something of which the residents of Lloydminster should be proud.

Above: Jubilee Park (originally on the S.E. corner of the junction of Highways 16 & 17). The Cairn, commemorating the settlement of the Barr Colonists, was installed at the time of the Provincial Jubilees [1955]
About 10 years later the cairn was moved 2 miles north on Highway 17 and the park shown here became a BA Service Station (later Gulf Oil and at century end, a PetroCanada service station)
