We could end up seeing a population surge if the federal government listens.
Also, Okotoks census numbers were just released. Their population is now 27 331, with a growth of over 1 000 people this past year. Not as impressive as Cochrane's numbers, but still pretty good  |
Okotoks will struggle to grow for the next five years or so due to water issues. They only recently removed a population cap so we can't really expect much there. As for Cochrane, they will probably explode over the next little while, if the market permits.
