Distribution of Alberta's 260 urban municipalities
Morinville surpassed a population of 10,000 in 2020, making it the tenth town in Alberta eligible for city status.
Alberta has provincial legislation allowing its municipalities to conduct municipal censuses.[1] Municipalities choose to conduct their own censuses for multiple reasons such as to better inform municipal service planning and provision, to capitalize on per capita based grant funding from higher levels of government, or to simply update their populations since the last federal census.[2]
Alberta began the year of 2020 with 351 municipalities, which decreased to 349 on February 1 with the dissolutions of the Town of Granum and the Village of Gadsby.[3] Of these, at least 13 (3.7%) published their intentions to conduct a municipal census in 2020. However, 10 of these municipalities cancelled their intentions.
Morinville was the lone municipality to achieve a population milestone as a result of its 2020 municipal census. It surpassed the 10,000-mark making it eligible for city status.[4]
