统计表明最近五年（2006-2011）的人口增长率，卡尔加里12.6%，埃德蒙德12.1%，成为全加拿大人口增长最快的两个城市。/ u0 c! C1 g. _$ c/ {- G% t; k
埃德蒙顿2011年人口已达81.2万。这个被我们昵称为屯子的地方，至少得改名叫“大屯子”了！

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.# z& }" f1 \, t& l9 E8 Y1 ? W

"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."
