Edmonton's population grew at boom-time levels during the past five years, despite an economic downturn some thought might temper growth. [" P- F" R) Z; J; `: i

That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.* t- C2 Z2 B3 `& k, [8 O

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.

"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."/ W0 b, t" f' } `2 U' t$ u& r
