[edit] High Schools

If you are going to have a section on high schools, then information on more than one should be added. Tables are completely unnecessary. Right now it reads as if either: Hunting Hills is the only high school in Red Deer OR, Hunting Hills is somehow special or magic. Also, why not add info about Red Deer College and other post-secondaries. I think that this information is more valuable than a list of high schools. -Tyson2k

[edit] Ranking of cities

68.147.209.85 stated that, according to provincial stats, Red Deer is larger than Lethbridge. Can someone please cite a reputable source that shows this? The most recent census data does NOT show this iirc and so I plan on reverting this change shortly if nobody can come up with a citation. Wikipedia itself shows Red Deer to have a smaller population than Lethbridge. --Yamla June 28, 2005 16:29 (UTC)

I reverted these changes. Feel free to change them back with specific citations and, presumably, after correcting the Lethbridge and Red Deer population figures. --Yamla June 29, 2005 14:42 (UTC)
Refer to the Alberta Official Population List for 2004 [1]. It states that Lethbridge had a population of 72,717 and Red Deer had 75,923. This is still somewhat misleading since the city of Lethbridge clearly does not believe in conducting a census regularily (not since 2002) whereas Red Deer did one in 2004. Nevertheless, this is official government data and it is far more up-to-date than the StatsCan 2001 census. -Tyson2k
Great, thanks for the citation. --Yamla June 29, 2005 18:33 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

I recently moved to Red Deer from Calgary to attend Red Deer College, and I look foreward to working on this page. --Insomniak 21:36, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Canada Template

I added the {{Canadian Cities}} template, can anyone please find the area of Red Deer, and therefore the Population density? It is proving rather difficult to find this information.

[edit] References

Please try to put a reference when changing or adding new data to the page. For example the population density. Thanks. --Ozzyprv 05:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
