1. Ottawa represents the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA. 2. Moncton, Peterborough, Brantford, Guelph, Barrie and Kelowna are new CMAs as of the 2006 census. 3. Gatineau refers to the Quebec part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA. Notes: Note that a CMA typically comprises more than one police service and that populations for all CMAs have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Also note that the Oshawa CMA is excluded from this table due to the incongruity between the police service jurisdictional boundaries and the CMA boundaries. Homicide data is available for this CMA, and in 2008 the homicide rate was 1.12. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. The population estimates come from Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Percent change based on unrounded rates.
