Population of Summerland drops according to latest stats Published: January 21, 2011 11:00 PM While figures which show that Summerland lost more than two per cent of its population between 2009 and 2010 concern Mayor Janice Perrino, she believes that this drop does not signal a long-term decline in the population of the community. “No,” she said. “I think it will turn around as the economy turns around,” she said. B.C. Statistics estimates that the population of Summerland dropped by 251 residents to 11,007 during the period between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
