It exceeded 100,000 growth between 1901 and 1911.
1901 - 46,047 (Winnipeg 42,540, St. Bon. 2,019, St. James 257, Kildonan 1,231)
1911 - 152,108 (Winnipeg 136,035, St. Bon. 7,483, St. James 5,335, Kildonan 3,255)
Difference of 106,061 for Winnipeg and the three suburbs of St. Boniface, St. James and Kildonan (today's East, North, West and Old); would be somewhat more if I included the totals for all of the other municipalities.
