No it's true. The July 1, 2014 estimate of the regional population by Calgary Economic Development Agency is 1 512 000. So this year that number would be about 1 560 000.
The most famous of all place less than 30,000 in the Canada section.

The best part being that it's brought up more often by non-Calgary forumers than it is by us

Alberta just grew by another 15 365 people in the most recently released quarter. That puts Alberta at 4 175 409 people, giving us a yearly growth of 89 000 people. Not bad at all.

For comparison, BC's yearly growth was 50 000, Quebec's was 55 000, and Ontario's was 110 000.


These numbers indicate that around 6000 people just moved to the Calgary CMA in three months.

It's nice to see the numbers are still solid. I thought this last quarter would have been bad, but seems decent.

Did we continue to close the gap with BC?

Those numbers must take into account natural increase though. The natural increase for Alberta would be most of that 15K. That said, in times like these it's nice to any growth at all.

Yeah, they're solid for sure. but still a major drop from the 26 948 in the same quarter last year.

If we can keep up a solid 13 - 15 000 growth per quarter and ride out this downturn, we'll still be in a great spot when we're back on top.

Definitely, they grew by less than 8000 the last quarter. The gap has now shrunk to 491 000.

I'm not sure why I care exactly, beating other cities is more interesting to me, but it would be a milestone to pass BC in population.

That will be a pretty tall order. I'd say we might see that type of growth for the entire year, and maybe even see a small drop.

I don't know what the natural increase for Alberta would be, but I'm guessing around 8-10K per quarter, so 13-15K might be doable even in the downturn. I guess we'll see.

I would be happy with any kind of increase at all given the situation.

In the worst 12 month of the Great Recession, Alberta grew by around 50 000. I think we'll be able to weather this one similarly. Our natural increase is around 30 000 per year. That won't count for emigration though.
