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.6 H: r5 e" H4 Q4 ^# L

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.) r% |; t+ x8 N) S

"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."
