1. A census metropolitan area (CMA) refers to a large urban core (at least 100,000 population) combined with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of economic and social integration. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service. 2.CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. 3. The CMA of Oshawa is excluded from this table due to the incongruity between the police service jurisdictional boundaries and the CMA boundaries. 4. Other drugs include all other illicit drugs not otherwise stated, e.g. crystal meth, ecstasy, "date rape" drugs, LSD, barbiturates, chemical precursors, etc. 5. Rates are calculated per 100,000 population. Population estimates are from Statistics Canada, Demography Division. 6. Refers to the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau census metropolitan area. 7. Refers to the Quebec part of the Ottawa-Gatineau census metropolitan area. Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, Aggregate Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. |
