These are the most dangerous cities in Canada

If you’ve been itching to move to another city in Canada, a recent study highlighting the safest and most dangerous areas in the country may help you form your decision.

The study, compiled by experts with money.ca, determined the top 10 most dangerous and safest cities in Canada by analyzing the Canadian Crime Index and looking at rates of specific crimes per 100,000 people.

The financial platform specifically looked at Canadian cities with a population of 100,000 or more and assessed crime statistics that may be of particular importance to home or property owners, including burglary, robbery, and arson.

After crunching the statistics, experts found that the most dangerous cities in Ontario are Greater Sudbury (779 offences per 100,000), and Thunder Bay (775.2 offences per 100,000).

The two cities came in at #8 and #9, respectively, on the top 10 most dangerous cities in Canada.
