  • Caledon, Ontario ranked once again Safest in Canada

    Maclean's Magazine

    Maclean’s magazine has once again been ranked Caledon, Ontario as the safest city in all of Canada. Caledon has consistently been rated the safest community in which to live by the magazine for several years now. Nearby Halton, Ontario is 3rd on the list as well as Nottawasaga which covers New Tecumseth, Essa and Adjala-Tosorontio is 5th on the list and South Simcoe also ranking in at 8th on the list.

    As published previously in Maclean’s:

    Certainly affluence helps shape Canada’s statistically safest place, Caledon, Ont., a scenic, semi-rural suburb northwest of Toronto. It is, at least by the most recent numbers, a larger, real-life equivalent to such fictional television inventions as America’s Mayberry, or Dog River, Sask., of Corner Gas fame — an idyllic world of carefree kids and unlocked doors, or more likely, of very good security systems. Caledon’s policing district of almost 71,000 residents comes by its reputation honestly (naturally), with no murders or aggravated assaults in 2006. Caledon has the third-lowest level of robbery among the 100 areas and the lowest rates of break and enter, sexual assault and auto theft, combining for an overall crime rate of 107 per cent below the national average.
