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./ X+ Y9 A6 S( Z b5 t S6 i2 Y* U

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.& c8 n1 q' k0 U* [, [+ |1 Q( W- j

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.
