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.

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.7 `4 V& ?7 }- a( S% S' D/ W
