In [[British Columbia]], a community can be incorporated as a city if its population exceeds 5,000.<ref>[http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/stat/L/96323_02.htm#section17 Government of British Columbia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081202133424/http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/stat/L/96323_02.htm#section17 |date=2008-12-02 }} – Local Government Act</ref> Once so incorporated, a city does not lose this status even if its population later declines; the once-larger City of [[Greenwood, British Columbia|Greenwood]], for example, now has a population of just 665 people.

British Columbia has 53 cities.
