Will Vernon and Kelowna and Penticton ever be combined into a single CMA?

I can see a case for Kelowna-Vernon but not Penticton.

Lake country between Kelowna and Vernon is already sprawling towards eachother and theres already a bus that takes you to vernon from Kelowna.

Nice to see 3 cities: Nanaimo, Chilliwack and Kamloops all surpass the magical 100,000 population barrier in the same census period. All three areas are shedding the "small town" label and developing more independent economic identities.

This should be celebrated as it might be while until we see any other municipality get close to achieving that marker. (unless something drastic happens in Prince George).

Congrats to all 3

I thought this was interesting. I understand that wikipedia is a user friendly and is not always accurate. I thought this would be interesting to post and see if anyone can notice some errors. Urban area was the old name for population centres.

^ the most obvious inconsistency I see is city vs. metro for certain cities.

For instance the Kelowna number appears to include Westbank but the Vernon number does not appear to include Coldstream

British Columbia population estimates by CMA/CA 2017

This is a list of population estimates based on July 2017. This info is based on B.C. stats.

Vancouver 2592227 1.1% change 2016/2017
Victoria 374807 1.2%
Kelowna 199015 1.4%
Abbotsford-Mission 185039 1.2%
Nanaimo 109419 1.9%
Kamloops 106453 0.8%
Chilliwack 103048 1.2%
Prince George 82755 -0.7%
Vernon 63269 0.4%
Courtney 57505 1.2%
Penticton 46054 8.6%
Duncan 46050 1.4%

You will notice some differences between the 2016 estimate which was based on the 2011 census. While this estimate is based on the 2016 census. So the city of Chilliwack has come down from the previous estimate.
It was interesting to note the 8.6% year over year increase in Penticton.

I was thinking about how Nanaimo has a greater population than Kelowna or Abbotsford.

They used the urban Kelowna number. The City of Kelowna itself only has 127,380 people as of the 2016 census. I wonder what the urban number includes? Not West Kelowna which had a population of 32,655 as of 2016. Westbank First Nation, which is intertwined in West Kelowna, adds about another 9,000 residents to the entire "Westbank". Westbank First Nation residents officially list Kelowna, BC as their city.

It's West Kelowna now, although there have been West Kelowna signs vandalized by people still bitter about not being Westbank.

The Kelowna CMA number includes West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland. Metro Kelowna is equivalent to the Regional District of the Central Okanagan.

So roughly 2.9 million in the Fraser Valley? Not too shabby. Would really be helpful for the region if there was better regional rail connectivity.

I was referring to that Wikipedia link above. Which doesn't really even make sense, it should be the 199,015 figure.

1 Vancouver Large urban 2,463,231
2 Victoria Large urban 367,770
3 Kelowna Large urban 151,957
4 Nanaimo Large urban 158,767
5 Abbotsford Medium 144,397

Ahh, sorry I didn't see that. Strange metric.

Based on conservative growth rates for Vancouver, Squamish, Abbotsford-Mission & Chilliwack (1% averaged annually) the Lower Mainland region should hit 3 million people by the end of the decade. I agree we could use significant improvements to regional transit infrastructure to handle this level of population growth...
