Annual births in British Columbia, 1971 to 2007. Note: Plotted line shows actual annual births; solid line shows linear regression. Since 2001, there has been a rise in the birth rate as a result of the baby boom generation’s children now having children. It is projected that the rise in birth rate will continue for at least 10 years. Source of data: Statistics Canada, Canadian Socioeconomic Information and Management
