Staggering Population Growth
Red hot population growth continued for another year right across Canada. This represents the peak as growth rates the last quarter came crashing back down. It's too early to say how far growth rates will fall but it's clear that the blistering population growth experienced the last few years is over.
Nanaimo, BC attained CMA designation for the first time and ranked #35.
