Though all of Alberta's have at least two high rises (35 meters +), with Lethbridge having the most among all tier-2 cities in the prairies at 7 towers. However, Saskatchewan's range from 20 000 to 45 000 (the Battlefords, Moose Jaw, and Prince Albert) and each has two to three.

Well done, you know your Prairie Cities
Although I'm aware of only one building in Med Hat taller than 35m, Telus or Regional Hospital just don't seem that tall.
Lethbridge, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert each have 3 buildings that are
highrises (building 40m +) with each city having at least one 16 storey building.

Fort McMurray, Brandon, Grande Prairie*,& Red Deer all have at least a couple highrises each. With honourable mention to Banff, Lake Louise, North Battleford,
Thompson and Dauphin* each having at least one building 10 storeys tall.

Funny you bring up Capital City, & North West Territories (Yellowknife) Since Battleford
was the Capital of the NWT almost a hundred and Fifty years ago.
