2023 Alberta municipal censuses

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 2023 with 342 municipalities due to the amalgamation of the towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley to form the Diamond Valley. Of these, seven municipalities conducted a municipal census in 2023, including the Municipal District (MD) of Willow Creek No. 26 and the cities of Airdrie, Fort Saskatchewan, Lacombe, Leduc, Lethbridge, and Spruce Grove.

Among the various results, Airdrie's municipal census verified that its population surpassed 80,000.
