Note: Firearm-related violent crime includes incidents where the most serious weapon present was a handgun, rifle, shotgun, fully automatic firearm, sawed-off shotgun, firearm-like weapon (e.g., starter pistol, flare gun, air gun, ghost gun, BB gun) and unknown type of firearm. Also includes violent crime where the most serious violation was a firearm-specific violent offence (discharging a firearm with intent, use of a firearm in the commission of an offence, pointing a firearm) and the type of weapon was unknown. Intimate partner violence includes incidents where the victim and the accused person were current or former legally married spouses, common-law partners, boyfriends, girlfriends, and dating partners, as well as any other type of intimate partner relationship (e.g., one-night stands). Counts are based on victims between the ages of 12 and 110. Victims whose age was reported as older than 110 years are excluded due to possible miscoding of unknown ages within this category. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations are based on July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.
