The growth of the Prairie Province:,; is quite remarkable; Alberta,
Manitoba and 8[l:'>1.;atche\van together contained 22 hundredths of the
total population, in 1921, whereas in 1901, they contained les:'> than 8%.
The grmvth of the populü,tion in the Canadian Provinces, as shown
by table 3, is not equally rapid. In Prince Edward Island and the
Yukon there was a decrease of population in the last decade (1911-1921).
On the other hand, some provinces show a large increase, such as Alberta
and Saskatchewan. The proportion for the whole Dominion amounted
to 21.9, as against 34.1, 7 in 1911 and 11.13 in 1901. During the period
187'1-1921 the population of Canada was increased by 5,099,226 inhab-
tants, equivalent to 138%.
