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。

6 G7 S: d' k% k: hStatistics 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.# f/ k7 j+ {+ k4 u: |- M4 d

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.6 f; K; D. m7 q# ?3 o3 ^0 {+ [

"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."
