LETHBRIDGE, AB – Canada is close to reaching 40 million people, and Statistics Canada has launched a new tool to watch that population growth in real time.
The Canada population clock keeps an ongoing tally of births, deaths, immigrants, emigrants, non-permanent residents and inter-provincial migrants. The tracker also keeps count of the population of every province and territory, as well as the population change since midnight.
As of this publication, Alberta currently sports a population of just over 4,730,000.
Canada reportedly added over one million new residents in a one-year span from January 2022 to January 2023, a year-over-year increase of 2.7 per cent compared to the year prior.
