Alberta has a total of 111 towns, with a population totaling 406,108 in 2005.[5] Towns are formed from communities with populations of at least 1,000 people. When a town's population exceeds 10,000 people, the council may requests a change to city status, but the change in incorporation level is not mandatory.[3] Communities with shrinking populations are allowed to retain town status even if the number of residents falls below the 1,000 limit.
