The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan is one of two components of the Legislature of Saskatchewan, the other being the Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan. The Legislature was unicameral from its establishment; there has never been a provincial upper house.
The Legislature meets at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina.
There are currently 58 ridings in the province which elect MLAs to the Legislative Assembly. All are currently single-member districts, although the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw have been represented by multi-member constituencies in the past.

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or assembly:
“Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap—let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges;Mlet it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs;Mlet it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“That man is to be pitied who cannot enjoy social intercourse without eating and drinking. The lowest orders, it is true, cannot imagine a cheerful assembly without the attractions of the table, and this reflection alone should induce all who aim at intellectual culture to endeavor to avoid placing the choicest phases of social life on such a basis.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
