For the fourth year in a row, Maclean's magazine has named Halton Region (incl. Acton) the Safest Place to live in the GTA and the Safest Regional Municipality in Canada.
Maclean's based it's ranking on 2010 annual crime data from Statistics Canada for municipal police services serving the nation's 100 largest populations. The Crime Severity Index (CSI) scores six personal and property crimes: homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault, auto theft, robbery and breaking and entering.
"This achievement is a result of our residents, businesses and local municipalities, working together with the great police officers and staff of the Halton Regional Police Service, to ensure Halton Region is a safe place to live, work, raise a family and retire," said Regional Chair Gary Carr.
"Our record is The Safest Region In Canada is one of the reasons that so many people and businesses choose to call Halton (incl. Acton) home. I want to thank everyone who continues to do their part to prevent crime in our Region because it is only by working together that we continue to build a better, safer community."
