Moncton, Halifax Lead Canada In Population Growth<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Moncton, Halifax, and Charlottetown are leading Canada in population growth as an increasing number of young adults chose to make Atlantic Canada their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest share [of population growth] is in the 25 to 35 age group,\u201d says Patrick Brannon, a senior researcher at the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC). He says attracting this age group is \u201cvery positive\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact they\u2019re leading the country is [a] pretty unique happening for our Atlantic cities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halifax saw a growth rate of 4.5 percent over the previous year, which is the second-fastest growth for any city<\/a> in the country. The city\u2019s population reached 480,000 people in 2022, which is 47 percent of the total population in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Brunswick\u2019s big three cities also all saw significant growth. But Moncton<\/a> was the big winner, with 5.4 percent population growth, totaling nearly 172,000 people. It was the fastest-growing city in the country, a trajectory it\u2019s been on for several years. Over the past five years, it\u2019s seen an increase of 21,000 people, and last year alone saw 9,000 new people call the Hub City home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
