Any predictions for Calgary's growth? I'm going with 50K.

 

[Surrealplaces]

These are my predictions. They're conservative numbers, and most likely will be higher, but we'll see.

Toronto +10,000
Montreal +5,000
Vancouver +5,000
Calgary +45,000
Ottawa +20,000
Edmonton+30,000
Winnipeg +5,000
Quebec +1,000
KW +15,000
Hamilton +3,000
Halifax +10,000
Victoria +2,000
Saskatoon +6,000
Regina +3,000

I know this is strictly anecdotal, but Calgary seems to have been getting noticeably busier every year since the growth spurt that started a few years ago, and this past year has been no exception, so i am still bullish on our growth this year. Surreal's numbers seem pretty reasonable to me, although I bet Winnipeg's growth will be a little higher (gonna guess 10-15k) and I could see Toronto and Vancouver possibly seeing a slight decline. Also betting Quebec will grow closer to 10k. Kw will be interesting to watch - on the one hand, both the tech growth and being an affordable alternative to the GTA are sources of growth but its also a college town that could take a hit from the reduction in student visas.

I would guess for most cities it will be about a third to half of 2024 numbers.

Toronto +60,000
Montreal +35,000
Vancouver +40,000
Calgary +45,000
Ottawa +20,000
Edmonton+30,000
Winnipeg +5,000
