Here’s a list of August inflation rates for selected Canadian cities
August 2026 saw Canada's official inflation rate settle at 3.0 per cent, according to Statistics Canada. The agency also provided inflation figures for several major Canadian cities, although they cautioned the data might have experienced significant fluctuations due to the small sample sizes used in the calculations (previous month's figures in brackets).
In Charlottetown-Summerside, inflation was notably higher at 4.5 per cent, compared to the national average. However, Statistics Canada emphasized the variability in their city-specific rates, attributing it to the limited statistical samples employed.
