Edmonton alone added nearly 82,000 people in that time, bringing the population to 812,200.

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."3 l5 J$ U8 ~# j \$ ?$ y
