Manitoba grew by more than 11,000 people in the past year — the best growth in a quarter of a century, according to new figures from Statistics Canada.
Saskatchewan's population was estimated at 1,003,300, up by 6,400, or 0.65 per cent, from July 1. These gains were record highs as interprovincial migration accounted for two-thirds of the increase.
Manitoba's population increased by 0.31 per cent, slightly below the national rate, Statistics Canada reported. It is, however, the province's strongest growth since the third quarter of 1983.
At the pace of growth Sask. is experiencing, Sask. might have a shot of passing MB by 2129!
