The census numbers are out. Milton is once again the fastest growing community in Canada, growing at a rate of over 56.5% from 2006-2011. In the 2006 census Milton grew by 70%, it lists Milton’s population at 84,000. Mayor Gord Krantz had told me it is over 100,000 now. Brampton’s population has also grown over 20% in the same timeframe. Here in Halton Hills our population has grown by 6.7% which is slightly above the National average. Our populations is 59,000.
It just shows you the growth pressure that Halton Hills has been under the past 10 years. Town Council has done its best to manage our growth. All communities need modest growth. I think the recent statistics from Census Canada show that we have managed our growth.
