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.3 a( Y!

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.% I# A$ }) v( k' T6 j

"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."1 W* K$ X9 B9 R3 w9 D+ z# V& z
