Between 2009 and this year, Alberta lost 2,200 people to other provinces. ' c' ?; S- R3 q1 t" e

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.

That was the highest increase rate among provinces and includes arrivals from other provinces and countries, as well as births.

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

Sumner 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.
