These #s were released in the summer so Airdrie has almost certainly surpassed Grande Prairie since then, likely becoming the 5th largest city in Alberta.
Other older numbers:
St Albert - 65,589 (2016)
Medicine Hat - 62,935 (2016)
Neither have been growing at Airdrie's rate, or even close.
Top cities:
Calgary (2018) 1,267,344
Edmonton (2016) 899,447
Red Deer (2016) 99,832
Lethbridge (2018) 99,769
As crazy as it sounds, Airdrie is on track to surpass Red Deer and Lethbridge in about 12 years at current rates.

Airdrie is not a real city. It's a bedroom community of Calgary.
