British Columbia
See also: List of municipalities in British Columbia and List of settlements in British ColumbiaIn British Columbia, a community can be incorporated as a city if its population exceeds 5,000. Once so incorporated, a city does not lose this status even if its population later declines; the once-thriving city of Greenwood, for example, now has a population of just 625 people.

“The young women, what can they not learn, what can they not achieve, with Columbia University annex thrown open to them? In this great outlook for women’s broader intellectual development I see the great sunburst of the future.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
