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:
“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
