“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.

But he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely. ' ?" o/ A3 X  X

That was the highest increase rate among provinces and includes arrivals from other provinces and countries, as well as births.

Sumner said the province’s strong natural increase was partly due to its population having the lowest median age at 35.8, compared to the national average of 39.7.

no. between 2009 and this year, a loss of 2,200, which means before the second quarter of this year, from 2009 to march this year, a net loss of 5020 (2,200 plus 2,820) to other provinces.0 h/ \. U$ B. D" a) h0 y8 ]0 ~

anyway, a very nice reversal, gaining half of the loss of about 2 years in one quarter.
