Regarding your population edit at Chestermere, please review WP:CANSTYLE#Population. Essentially, the latest StatCan census is the primary source for population data in articles about Canadian communities. This allows for consistent comparison of Alberta communities with communities outside Alberta that do not update their populations through municipal censuses. Further within Alberta, this allows for consistent comparison of all communities within Alberta as some opt not to conduct municipal censuses between StatCan federal censuses. If you review Chestermere's Demographics section, you will find its latest municipal census population is appropriately presented there with supporting references per WP:CANSTYLE#Population.
