Halifax: 13% increase (106,400 to 120,400)
Montreal: -1% decrease (896,917 to 887,485)
Ottawa-Gatineau: 2.5% increase (315,919 to 323,219
Toronto: 4.6% increase (1,525,651 to 1,589,865
Calgary: 1.2% increase (335,928 to 339,997)
Edmonton: -0.2% decrease (337,990 to 337,289)
Vancouver 4.6% increase (639,274 to 668,998)
If we had the 2023 data my hunch is that we'd see basically the same thing again, except probably Vancouver dropping a little, and Calgary and Edmonton gaining more--due in part directly to interprovincial migration between them all.

Calgary and Edmonton should see quite a bump in that age range as there was a massive interprovincial net gain last year, and the majority of those people will be in that age group. Halifax should continue along at a good pace with NS having interprovincial net gain.
