Maclean’s Magazine has ranked the MRC des Collines as the safest place in Quebec.
The magazine ranked 237 urban centres throughout Canada by comparing the most recent crime severity index (CSI) released by Statistics Canada to the numbers released five years ago.
Statistics Canada set the CSI at a baseline of 100 in 2006. If the CSI is under 100, that means less crimes were committed in that region than in 2006. A number higher than 100 means there were more severe crimes than in 2006.
The MRC des Collines came in with a CSI of 27.7, which makes it the 15th safest place in Canada.
