From April 1 to July 1, a net total of 2,820 Canadians moved to Alberta.

Only 312 Canadians moved to Alberta in the first three months of the year and Alberta posted net losses in the two quarters before that. 0 C0 F4 D3 t- \4 h' i

Between 2009 and this year, Alberta lost 2,200 people to other provinces. 6 g: @. _+ e& q7 N8 i

It followed a peak during 200506 when 45,800 interprovincial migrants arrived.

ATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region. . r( `/ Q  j* D* y& s6 H

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said. / }( V+ E4 O# K- K4 i
“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects. 0 n6 h+ g, ^& d5 _6 \. K# n1 r

Statistics Canada said Alberta’s population in the second quarter climbed by 18,538, or 0.5 per cent, to 3.72 million.

“Almost half the growth in Alberta came from natural increase, the highest proportion among the provinces,” said the federal agency.

6 {# m/ s( H  @; p+ ?  I# CSumner said the province’s strong natural increase was partly due to its population having the lowest median age at 35.8, compared to the national average of 39.7. 4 @* y) N: P  }/ G, ?# Q2 v" |
