I'm going to say that the gains in those areas have a lot to do with inter-provincial migration

I agree, Salmon Arm is a bit of an anomaly. I know that last year Pentiction was -4.8% It looks like it has just had people move back after leaving last year? So perhaps that is why it is up 6.4%?
Ladysmith, growth is probably connected to Nanaimo and the push for a regional center in the south of Nanaimo. Central Vancouver island has pretty much always had positive growth.
