Lloydminster is a city in Canada which has the unusual geographic distinction of straddling the provincial border between Alberta[3] and Saskatchewan.[10][11] The city is incorporated by both provinces as a single city with a single municipal administration.

Located in the heart of Treaty 6, Lloydminster is the traditional homeland of the Plains Cree, Wood Cree, Dene, Saulteaux and homeland of the Métis.[12]
