In total, the NWT population fell by 321 persons between October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2011. The components of natural increase consisted of 732 births and 219 deaths, resulting in a net increase of 513 persons. Inter-‐provincial migration accounted for 2,336 persons moving into the Northwest Territories from other provinces and territories, while 3,156 persons moved away, representing a net loss of 820 persons. Internationally, there was a net out-‐migration of 14 persons who moved out of the NWT. The magnitude of net out-‐migration was the highest it has been in the past 2 years. 2011-‐029 ISSN-‐0827-‐3545

In terms of quarterly growth, the NWT population decreased by 190 persons between July 1, 2011 and October 1, 2011. The population decline resulted from a net loss of 349 inter-‐ provincial migrants. The decrease was slightly offset by a natural increase of 143 persons and net gain of 16 international migrants. This was the largest quarterly net loss of inter-‐provincial migration in the past 8 quarters.
Similar to previous years, Alberta accounted for the largest number of inter-‐provincial migrants into and out of the Northwest Territories between October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2011. Approximately 538 persons moved from Alberta to the NWT, while 1,118 persons moved from the territory to Alberta, amounting to a net loss of 580 people (Figure 1). Other provinces and territories with net out-‐flows of inter-‐provincial migration included Nunavut, Yukon, British Colombia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Newfoundland & Labrador, representing a net loss of 471 persons. In contrast, Nova Scotia made the largest single net contribution of new migrants into the territory. It was estimated that 184 people moved from Nova Scotia to the NWT, while 54 persons moved from the territory to Nova Scotia, representing a net increase of 130 persons. Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island also made net contributions to the NWT population, which amounted to a combined increase of 101 persons.

In total, the NWT population fell by 321 persons between October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2011. The components of natural increase consisted of 732 births and 219 deaths, resulting in a net increase of 513 persons. Inter-‐provincial migration accounted for 2,336 persons moving into the Northwest Territories from other provinces and territories, while 3,156 persons moved away, representing a net loss of 820 persons. Internationally, there was a net out-‐migration of 14 persons who moved out of the NWT. The magnitude of net out-‐migration was the highest it has been in the past 2 years. 2011-‐029 ISSN-‐0827-‐3545

In terms of quarterly growth, the NWT population decreased by 190 persons between July 1, 2011 and October 1, 2011. The population decline resulted from a net loss of 349 inter-‐ provincial migrants. The decrease was slightly offset by a natural increase of 143 persons and net gain of 16 international migrants. This was the largest quarterly net loss of inter-‐provincial migration in the past 8 quarters.
Similar to previous years, Alberta accounted for the largest number of inter-‐provincial migrants into and out of the Northwest Territories between October 1, 2010 and October 1, 2011. Approximately 538 persons moved from Alberta to the NWT, while 1,118 persons moved from the territory to Alberta, amounting to a net loss of 580 people (Figure 1). Other provinces and territories with net out-‐flows of inter-‐provincial migration included Nunavut, Yukon, British Colombia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Newfoundland & Labrador, representing a net loss of 471 persons. In contrast, Nova Scotia made the largest single net contribution of new migrants into the territory. It was estimated that 184 people moved from Nova Scotia to the NWT, while 54 persons moved from the territory to Nova Scotia, representing a net increase of 130 persons. Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island also made net contributions to the NWT population, which amounted to a combined increase of 101 persons.
