Census
Thank you for your census edit at Parkland County, Alberta. Per WP:CANSTYLE, the last official Statistics Canada census is the primary and definitive source for population data in articles. This is why Parkland County's infobox presents the 2006 federal census population and not the 2009 municipal census population. Parkland County's latest municipal census population is appropriately presented and referenced in its Demographics section however. The Wikipedia articles for all other municipalities in Alberta that have conducted a municipal census since the 2006 federal census are presented the same way. 2006 populations, dwelling counts, and density figures in infoboxes provide a common baseline for consistent comparison between an Albertan municipality and other municipalities in other provinces that don't have legislation enabling municipal censuses.
