Note(s):
Hate crime counts from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Survey include both confirmed and suspected hate-motivated crime incidents. The information in this table reflects data reported by police services covering 99.7% of the population of Canada. Under the authority of the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal (CFPM), the Canadian Forces Military Police Group is now reporting incidents to the UCR Survey. It has provided incidents going back to January 2020. Data from the Office of the CFPM are aggregated at the national level to account for small counts and to protect confidentiality. The total includes incidents where hate motivation was unknown. The 2022 counts for some police services in the province of Quebec may be an undercount due to a system upgrade issue that impacted complete reporting for hate crime, cybercrime and firearm-related incidents. Corrections will be applied to the revised 2022 data, planned for release in July 2024.
