埃德蒙顿2011年人口已达81.2万。这个被我们昵称为屯子的地方，至少得改名叫“大屯子”了！

Statistics Canada reported Wednesday that Alberta's population increased at twice the national average, while results of the 2011 federal census showed the Edmonton area's population grew at a faster rate than any other metro region in Canada from 2006 to 2011, with the exception of Calgary.. |/ a" l& _/ c) C# a; d

The capital region - including municipalities such as Beaumont, Spruce Grove and Fort Saskatchewan - grew from slightly more than a million people in 2006 to nearly 1.2 million people in 2011. That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.

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.; O1 j* Z$ e& i8 E- E) t& |
