It should be noted that the above figures 

 do not in any instance represent the official 

 count" of the population. The Census Bureau 

 has averaged the growth of each city, using 

 official figures as a basis. 



Fifty Largest Cities in Canada. The figures 

 given in the following table of the largest 

 Canadian cities are from the Dominion census 

 of 1911, except those printed in italics, which 

 are from the census of the prairie provinces, 

 taken in 1916. This arrangement obviously 

 gives undue importance to some of the prairie 

 cities, but to take the 1911 figures for all the 

 Dominion would be even less satisfactory be- 

 cause of the unusual growth of western com- 

 munities since that date. It is interesting to 

 note that eight of the first fourteen cities are 

 capitals, and that Fredericton, N. B., is the 

 only one of the nine provincial capitals which 

 does not appear in the complete list. It is also 

 a striking fact that the total population of these 

 fifty Canadian cities does not equal that of the 

 second city in the United States.
