Cavan Monaghan and Peterborough form CMA amid high hate crime reports
What happened
Cavan Monaghan and Peterborough formed a Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). Statistics Canada reported that the Peterborough Census Metropolitan Area had the highest per capita rate of police-reported hate crimes in the country last year. Since 2019, the area has collectively ranked among the top 29 Canadian CMAs in six of seven years.
Why it matters
The CMA formation is part of local efforts by Cavan Monaghan and Peterborough to seek funding from the Government of Canada for shared land development. The high rate of hate crimes in the region could increase local police burden and public controversy in Peterborough.
