That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.; |2 v( y; f9 U) O" a+ X: _
" }6 s& d# i- \: REdmonton 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./ {/ A) I1 |& I# |2 P
