Statistics Canada reported Wednesday that Alberta's population increased at twice the national average, while results of the 2011 federal census showed the Edmonton area's population grew at a faster rate than any other metro region in Canada from 2006 to 2011, with the exception of Calgary.( R6 m5 R' C5 X8 R) `3 W# ?" z

Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.8 e6 c) V ?* B G- H+ G
