CMAs aren't amalgamated. Edmonton is 820 000 people with a CMA of around 1.3 million.
The city of Red Deer will likely be over 150 000 with many more in its future CMA. These cities/towns include Blackfalds, Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Penhold, etc. But really, who knows what towns StatsCan will include in the CMA once it's created in the 2021 Census.
I could be being over zealous with the number of 350 000, but over 300 000 is likely, as Census District 8 will be around 400 000.
