Chart 2
Police-reported hate crimes, by province, 2018 to 2021
1.
The information for Canada includes all provinces and territories.
Note(s):
Hate crime counts from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey include both confirmed and suspected hate crime incidents. They include incidents where hate motivation was unknown. The chart information reflects data reported by police services covering 99.7% of the population of Canada. Under the authority of the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal (CFPM), the Canadian Forces Military Police Group is now reporting incidents to the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. They have provided incidents going back to January 2020. Data from the Office of the CFPM are aggregated at the national level to account for small counts and to protect confidentiality. Therefore, provincial and territorial totals will not equal national totals. Currently, the Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics is developing the methodology for determining the population counts for the Canadian Armed Forces. Therefore, rates are not available for the 2020/2021 release.
