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.

The capital region - including municipalities such as Beaumont, Spruce Grove and Fort Saskatchewan - grew from slightly more than a million people in 2006 to nearly 1.2 million people in 2011. That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.5 C5 b* e m$ x: Q$ F

Edmonton alone added nearly 82,000 people in that time, bringing the population to 812,200. Originally, the city's chief economist John Rose thought Edmonton might see a slight slowdown from the impressive 9.6-per-cent growth it reported in the 2006 census. Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.+ l4 t0 Q: M+ p! t/ q5 t

"What we have here is a very good news story," Rose said. "It suggests the City of Edmonton is no longer just a place you go to for a job, work that job for a few years and then you go on to something else when the boom is over.", Y+ A2 ]+ L6 D* t$ t4 r0 ^
