Publisher Description

Although population loss is the norm for many of Canada's rural and small town municipalities, approximately 41% did grow during the 1996 to 2001 period. This paper seeks to describe and interpret the contribution of "counterurbanization" to the growth of settlements that lie beyond Canada's urban areas. A custom tabulation of Statistics Canada data is analysed to describe spatial variations in the importance of this migration stream. Results reveal that although the movement of residents from Canada's largest (CMAs) and smaller (CAs) urban centres is occurring, it is not the sole migration path driving population growth in rural and small town municipalities. Moves between rural settlements are found to be the dominant form of migration taking place in some of Canada's provinces and territories. Spatial variations in the relative importance of these migration types are attributed to disparities in population, economic conditions and environmental amenity. Comparison with the 2001-2006 census data will reveal if trends documented here have continued into the present millennium. Quoiqu'une baisse de population soit la norme dans bon nombre de municipalites rurales et de petites localites, environ 41% d'entre elles ont en fait connu une croissance au cours de la periode de 1996 a 2001. Le present travail a pour objet de decrire et d'interpreter la contribution de la 'contre-urbanisation' a la croissance des agglomerations situees en dehors des regions urbaines du Canada. L'analyse d'une tabulation speciale des donnees de Statistique Canada permet de decrire des variations spatiales dans l'importance de ce courant migratoire. Les resultats revelent qu'en depit du mouvement de population qui se produit a partir des grands centres urbains (RMR) et de ceux de moindre taille (AR), ce n'est pas la la seule voie de migration a stimuler la croissance de population dans les municipalites rurales et les petites localites. On constate que les mouvements entre agglomerations rurales constituent la forme dominante de migration dans plusieurs des provinces et des territoires du Canada. Les variations spatiales dans l'importance relative de ces types de migrations sont attribuees a des differences au niveau de la population, de la conjoncture economique et de l'attrait de l'environnement. Une comparaison avec les donnees de recensement de 2001 a 2006 revelera si les tendances consignees aux presentes se sont poursuivies au cours du present millenaire.
