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.7 X2 k1 i4 E" j2 s, ?3 Y4 W8 _2 _

Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.! O8 M" r2 j: `# [) X ~
