* Population figures are based on 2006
Canada Census. The fastest growing communities usually conduct a census annually for
government
grant purposes.
Generally, there was a drop in average annual growth between the early 1980's and mid 1990's due in part to low oil prices
and
government initiatives. The growth between 1971 and 1981
reflected a high growth period similar to what is currently occurring.
