Looks like BC Stats released its latest population estimates for BC municipalities in 2022. They changed their groupings for municipalities from Regional Districts to Development Regions so the Lower Mainland is listed as "Mainland/Southwest" rather than "GVRD" and "Fraser Valley" separately like before.
