2014 Municipal Affairs Population List
Introduction
Each year the ministry publishes a population list of all Alberta municipalities based on
the most recent municipal census or latest federal census. This list contains municipal
census population figures submitted to Alberta Municipal Affairs as of September 1 of
the current year, in accordance with Sections 57 and 604 of the Municipal Government
Act and the Determination of Population Regulation. Municipalities completing their own
census must follow mandatory requirements as specified in the Determination of
Population Regulation (63/2001) and the Municipal Census Manual. In most instances
where a municipal census was conducted, the municipal census count would supersede
the federal census count.
Conducting a municipal census is at the discretion of the municipality. Most
municipalities rely on the information provided by the federal census prepared by
Statistics Canada once every five years. The most recent federal census was
completed in 2011 and the next federal census is scheduled for 2016.
This publication also contains the on-reserve population counts for all First Nation
Reserves as well as censuses and/or membership counts for all Métis Settlements in
Alberta. The on-reserve population counts and Métis Settlement counts were obtained
from Alberta Aboriginal Relations.
