The capital region - including municipalities such as Beaumont, Spruce Grove and Fort Saskatchewan - grew from slightly more than a million people in 2006 to nearly 1.2 million people in 2011. That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.

Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.6 T% v0 h5 H4 n3 Z5 l
