LETHBRIDGE, AB – Statistics Canada says the provincial and national populations are surging.
As of July 1, 2022, the country was home to 38,929,902 people, a growth of 282,982 (+0.7%) from April 1.
This represents an increase of more than 3,100 people per day during the second quarter of 2022.
“This was the highest growth in the number of people in Canada of any quarter since the addition of Newfoundland (see the note to readers) to the Confederation in 1949, which led to the highest population growth rate since the third quarter of 1957 (+0.8%) around the height of the baby boom,” reads a notice from Statistics Canada.
