Canada has just released its latest report on the safest cities in the country. For newcomers, this information can be a valuable guide in choosing a place to live.
However, it's important to weigh these safety rankings alongside other considerations when making a decision.
Statistics Canada maintains its nationwide database on the incidence and severity of crime in the country, known as the Crime Severity Index (CSI).
The CSI, unlike a traditional crime rate (which only counts the number of crimes), also uses police data to consider the seriousness of each crime—providing a more nuanced view of crime levels.
To make the Index easier to interpret, scores are standardized to "100"(in a system similar to the Consumer Price Index), using 2006 as a base year.
Quebec City has been ranked as the safest city in Canada, followed closely by Barrie, Ontario, in second place.
Here is the list of 10 safest cities in Canada:
• Quebec City, Quebec
• Barrie, Ontario
• Toronto, Ontario
• Ottawa-Gatineau (All Parts)
• Hamilton, Ontario
• St. Catharines-Niagara, Ontario
• Montréal, Quebec
• Halifax, Nova Scotia
• Kingston, Ontario
• St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
