# {$ @9 G7 v( t8 UThat means people from other provinces are being drawn by Alberta’s economy after months of dwindling or negative interprovin-cial migration to Alberta.
5 ^: R3 W7 S4 ^, O) \& n' A$ V4 T- o3 X5 U: j2 q' U9 L
Only 312 Canadians moved to Alberta in the first three months of the year and Alberta posted net losses in the two quarters before that. % |, a* O, a/ H8 P

Between 2009 and this year, Alberta lost 2,200 people to other provinces. & n# P5 }0 V( [7 t+ n; B3 M  f  j2 y

It was the first time Alberta had lost more people than it gained since 1994-95. $ J, U# H. A) n7 I! ], z$ T/ B1 D

It followed a peak during 200506 when 45,800 interprovincial migrants arrived.

! E- a6 N8 c% A" U2 C+ sATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region. * @! E" _" z9 r- ^/ Z# i- ]) T

8 Y: b* w7 n; [" s“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.
( \2 ^3 L6 C5 `% g“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects.

“During the mid-decade, unsustainably strong job prospects drove migrants to Alberta from all corners of the country, although this trend reversed course quickly during the recession.” : e3 x1 y6 d$ r" h* a
: I' {8 o& t1 I1 y2 F, X
But he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely.
! [# y2 s* i  ~4 Z$ \3 F+ W$ w  S/ i- z
Statistics Canada said Alberta’s population in the second quarter climbed by 18,538, or 0.5 per cent, to 3.72 million. : T- d, Q) X6 Y3 q7 L

That was the highest increase rate among provinces and includes arrivals from other provinces and countries, as well as births. / B, l& m/ V: S* p3 Y

“Almost half the growth in Alberta came from natural increase, the highest proportion among the provinces,” said the federal agency.
* b+ c. f- r9 l( e: _: ]+ j0 |- a: m5 O
Sumner said the province’s strong natural increase was partly due to its population having the lowest median age at 35.8, compared to the national average of 39.7.
