Calgary Population Projections Calgary has experienced tremen- dous growth over the past decade. Calgary's Actual and Projected Population One indicator of the magnitude of 2005-2014 growth is the increase in Calgary’s 1,250 population by 131,960 persons in 1,200 the last five years, an average of 1,184 1,160 26,392 persons per year. The City 1,150 1,139 has forecast that the total popula- 1,113 tion of Calgary will reach 1,100 1,093 (,000s) 1,184,000 in 2014, an increase of 1,065 118,545 from the total 106,455 in 1,050 1,043 1,020 April 2009.

Student Enrolment The CBE’s current student enrolment of 102,376 is forecast to increase to 108,982 students in 2014. The largest increase over the five-year time horizon will be for Kindergarten to Grade 3 students. The Grades 10-12 enrolments will slightly decline.

Calgary Growth and Development Although the total population growth to the City as a whole is expected to be 118,545 people over the next five years, the new suburban areas have grown at a higher rate. These new areas have historically captured all of the population growth to Calgary and more by pulling additional populations from the built areas of the City. It is anticipated that the City will continue to add 100% of Calgary’s population gain in the suburbs over the next five years. 4. Three-Year Education Plan Alberta Education requires school boards to maintain three-year plans, updated annually. School boards are responsible for carrying out their education plans; for reporting annually to parents, communities, and government on results and use of their resources; and, for using results information to update plans and improve education for students. The Board of Trustees approved the Three-Year Education Plan 2009-2012 on June 2, 2009. This year’s Three-Year Education Plan 2010-2013 is currently being prepared. 5. Schools Under Construction and Approvals Over the years there has been a backlog of new schools for high-priority communities. The Province provided eleven approvals from the School Capital Plan - 2007-2010. As well, the City of Calgary, the Province, and the CBE have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for the West Calgary High School to replace Ernest Manning High School. The six P3 elementary schools are well under construction and are expected to open in the 2010-2011 school year. The West Calgary High School is in early stages of construction and is expected to open in the 2011-2012 school year.

Over the next five school years (2010-2015) approximately 10,250 additional student spaces will be built from schools approved, and under construction. It is estimated that capacity reductions over the next ten school years could be approximately 15,000 student spaces.
