Calgary-area population grew by 2.4% to last July, Statistics Canada estimates

The growth rate in the Calgary region was second highest in the country, behind only Kelowna, which grew by 3.1 per cent.

The increase puts the population for the Calgary region at just shy of 1.44 million people — 1,439,756. But growth in the city apparently slowed — in each of the previous three years, Statistics Canada estimated growth of more than three per cent.

With continuing economic uncertainty and job losses in Calgary and Alberta since the end of June, that slowing trend could continue.
