I know, everyone from Regina assumes that they have the ten tallest buildings in the province all the time.... Here is the run-down according to the cities section on this web-site. I believe it is more current than emporis since I updated it this winter....

Too much to cut and paste so here are the links....


Saskatoon
Most heights are estimated by SSP staff because trying to get that info from the city was like pulling teeth

Regina
Most of Regina's buildings are diagramed, something I am slowly trying to do to Saskatoon's......

And to add my two cents again, I know the whole quality before quantity debate, and I know something is better than nothing. But, we have seen to many small scale projects go up in Saskaoon's core, it's about time we got a tall modern looking tower. Just say NO to red brick! or pink stucco.....
