Alberta has provincial legislation allowing its municipalities to conduct municipal censuses. Municipalities choose to conduct their own censuses for multiple reasons such as to better inform municipal service planning and provision or to simply update their populations since the last federal census.
Alberta began the year of 2022 with 343 municipalities. Of these, three municipalities conducted a municipal census in 2022, including the City of Cold Lake, the Town of High Level, and Strathcona County.
Strathcona County became the fifth municipality in Alberta to reach 100,000 people as a result from its 2022 municipal census.
