TOWNS


See Also: Towns of Alberta


Alberta has a total of 111 towns, with a population totaling 406,108 in 2005.3 Towns are formed from communities with populations of at least 1,000 people. When a Town 's population exceeds 10,000 people, the council may requests a change to City status, but the change in Incorporation level is not mandatory.
