1. A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service.
2.CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries.
3. Family violence refers to violence committed by spouses (legally married, separated, divorced, common-law partners), parents, children, siblings, and extended family. Spousal victims include those aged 15 to 89 years. All other family relationships include victims aged 0 to 89 years.
4. Non-family violence refers to violence committed by dating partners, friends, casual acquaintances, business associates, criminal associates, authority figures, and strangers. Includes victims aged 0 to 89 years.
5. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division.
6. Gatineau refers to the Quebec part of Ottawa-Gatineau CMA.
7. Excludes the portions of Halton Regional Police and Durham Regional Police that police the CMA of Toronto.
8. Excludes the portion of Halton Regional Police that polices the CMA of Hamilton.
9. The 2010 data for the Sherbrooke CMA are estimates based on 2009 data due to the unavailability of data in 2010.
10. Ottawa refers to the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA.
11. Includes Halton Regional Police and Durham Regional Police, which are responsible for policing more than one CMA. This total also includes the portion of Durham Regional Police that polices the Oshawa CMA. Because of these inclusions, the CMA total will not equal the total of the individual CMAs.
Note: Excludes incidents where the sex and/or age of victim was unknown and where the relationship between the victim and the accused was unknown. Totals do not match the information presented in Table 1.1 due to the exclusion of unknown relationships.
