Reflects new impaired driving offences as per former Bill C-46 "An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences relating to conveyances) and to make consequential amendments to other Acts," which came into effect part way through 2018. In some jurisdictions, including British Columbia, impaired driving incidents that meet the elements of the Criminal Code may be handled using a provincial statute.

Note 7

Marked changes observed in drug offences may be due to legislative changes and changes in police charging practices in response to: 1) August 2020 guidelines issued by the Public Prosecution Service of Canada directing prosecutors to avoid prosecutions for simple possession offences under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA); 2) Health Canada's exemption from the CDSA for the province of British Columbia for the personal possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs, that came into effect on January 31, 2023; 3) annual changes in the rate of offences related to importation or exportation of cannabis and other illicit drugs and controlled substances may be due in part to operational conditions and reporting of seizure cases, conducted by the Canada Border Services Agency and the Canada Post Mail Centre. These cases are forwarded for processing and investigation, and as a result of this exchange, the year in which occurrences are reported by police may not always correspond to the year in which they occurred; and 4) the coming into force of the Cannabis Act in October 2018, provided a legal framework for the legalization and regulation of the production, distribution, sale, possession, importation and exportation of cannabis in Canada.

Note: Counts are based on the most serious violation in the incident. One incident may involve multiple violations. Counts may be affected by differences in the way police services deal with offences. In some instances, police or municipalities might choose to deal with some offences using municipal bylaws or provincial provisions rather than Criminal Code provisions. Urban police services serve an area where the majority of the population lives within a census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA). A CMA consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CA must have a core population of at least 10,000. A CMA or CA may be served by more than one police service. Rural areas are all areas outside of CMAs and CAs. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Percent changes are based on unrounded rates. The CMA populations have been adjusted to reflect policing boundaries and do not always fully align with the standard CMA geographic units used for disseminating information about the Census of Population. Population figures reflect only the permanent or resident population of a jurisdiction. Where a jurisdiction serves as the centre for commercial businesses, human or public services, or entertainment, it may have substantial “part-time” populations, e.g., tourists, cabin owners, commuters, students, and seasonal staff. These temporary populations, whose permanent residence is within another jurisdiction, are excluded from a jurisdiction’s population figures. This may be a factor to consider when examining crime for some municipalities. Populations based on July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography. Excludes data from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Canadian Police Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, and the Canadian Forces Military Police Group.
