It's the first time in a decade B.C. has seen 15 months in a row of more people moving out-of-province than it gains — and most are moving to Alberta in the exodus, StatsCan said Tuesday. From July to September 2023, B.C.
lost net 4,634 people to other provinces, its second-greatest quarterly dip since 2004.
