The following link provides the 2006 census figures for all of Alberta cities, towns and villages ... there are a number of surprises (well at least as far as I'm concerned ...) - for example ... Airdrie is over 29,000 and for years it used to grow @ about the same pace as Leduc yet Leduc is now about 1/2 of Airdrie's population ... another example there are about several towns (eg. Cochrane, Strathmore, Stony Plain etc.) which have populations in the same range as some of Alberta's smaller cities (eg. Wetaskiwin, Brooks) ... and then there's unincorporated hamlet of Sherwood Park which is pushing 56,000 ... and so on ...
