Note(s):
Hate crime counts from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey include both confirmed and suspected hate crime incidents. The information in this table 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 (CF MP Gp) 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. The total includes incidents where hate motivation was unknown.
