Census Results: Dave Bronconnier

Explosive Growth Dept: The numbers, released by the city on Thursday, show the city's growth rate between April 2009 and April of this year sinking to a 26-year low, according to CBC. "At some point it's nice to have a bit of breather," he said. "As you're dealing with that explosive growth over the last two decades you are still playing catch-up for infrastructure, front-line service delivery." Calgary's population saw its slowest growth since a deep recession in 1984 drove people away, according to the latest census results. Despite the slowdown, Mayor Dave Bronconnier pointed out Thursday that Calgary's 26 previous years of consecutive growth is a rarity for any Canadian municipality. As reported in the news.
