The City of Mississauga: The City of Mississauga is the 6th largest city in Canada and has an approximate population of 721,599 people (Statistics Canada, 2016). The city of Mississauga is the only city in the GTHA to be serviced by seven major highways (Highway 401,403, 409, 410, 427, 407 and Queens Elizabeth Way (QEW)). Canada’s largest and busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport is in the municipality. The city is a lower-tier municipality within the Region of Peel. The most recent consolidation of the official plan which includes OMB decisions and approved official plan amendments occurred August 2, 2017 (City of Mississauga, 2017).

Defining the crime problem is a vital step in controlling crime. Crime is undoubtedly a significant and pricey societal problem but we cannot target the problem without first defining it. There is no one identical solution to crime, instead it is based on a piece by piece basis. Strategies to target crimes need to target larger geographical areas, sometimes entire states. In addition, for a strategy to be successful in controlling a crime it cannot be too vague or extremely specific to an index crime. An example of a crime a law should target is: drug sales in a problem neighborhood or rapes at a city park. –Chapter 1 Page

Crime is an issue that is frequently connected to cities with urban centers. For years, officials and residents in Baltimore City worried about rising crime rates and the danger to public safety. From 1970 to present, violent crime has been a long term pattern in Baltimore and other urban areas in the United States. Beneath these patterns lies a significant volatility. During the 1970s, crime rates dropped before suddenly spiking in 1981. Amid the 1980s, crime rates fell again until an emotional reversal in 1988 which sent crime surging to obscene amounts before cresting around 1995 and falling again. This surge in savage crime in the late 1980s and mid 1990s has been connected with the introduction and rise of crime, a perspective that was reinforced by ER surveys. Prior to the crime wave of the late 80s, Baltimore's crime rates had been declined nominally and in contrast to cities of similar size in the region. The crack epidemic dramatically reversed these patterns, creating panic among city leaders not just in Baltimore but in other major

This is because Markham/canada is a colder country than others and it is harder for crops to grow during the season besides summer, while in other countries it is much more warmer and they can grow these types of foods easier. For example in South Africa its a warmer country which is near the equator which means crops can grow much faster than other countries further away from the equator. Also food can grow depending on the soil condition in these types of countries are usually more healthier soil and countries that grow lots of food usually have tons of land to grow

One of these factors could be lack of awareness and understanding. According to Monsebraaten, there is a thoughtful level of lack of commitment in the community (2015). Society is not looking closer to what has been happening in the community about the violence there are experiencing; this is normalized in the community. “Many residents said they were unhappy with the services that they are receiving from cops at 31 Division and would not report a crime if they witnessed one or were victims of one” (Share News, 2009). Therefore, youths refuse to seek help, and then deal with problems the way they understand since they cannot find good role models to follow they path. According to Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services says lack of understanding is affecting everybody in the neighbourhood, which increases violence from many backgrounds that includes poverty and discrimination. “Good local programming often is not available or sustainable, and role models and mentors can be hard to find” (2015). It is important to understand that the government are the people. Base on the facts, the root of Jane and Finch is not a fault of government, but the fault of the society where people of Jane and Finch cannot govern themselves. “Women work in plain sight of the residents

Several communities surrounding West St Catharines have different land use history. To begin, I will start with Martindale. Martindale was used to be grapevines. It was given by the name as the Grapeview area. Today, it does have a significant increase of residential areas. There are unclosed shopping centers located as well. Several public schools and churches are being built. It has now constructed a new hospital as a home to the Niagara Regional Health Care System. It provides the best Niagara Healthcare services in the area. There is also a local park called the Grapeview Park.

It is commonly known that crime in Canada has gone down over the last few years, and that this is or has been advertised in just about every online news outlet in Canada. Overall, this is great! However, we still see and hear about many stories based around crime daily in the news, and this is not surprising. What is though, is that the crime reported in the news is typically violent crime, regardless of the fact that crime statistics typically indicate that only about 10 percent of crimes committed in Canada are actually violent. Stats Canada (2014) indicates that there are approximately 340,000 violent crime violations (e.g. homicide, sexual assault, robbery) per year. This may sound like a lot, and it is! But not when you consider that there is approximately 1,00,000 property crime violations (e.g. break and enter; theft over 5,000) and 582,000 other crime violations (e.g. administration of justice violations, impaired driving, drug violations) per year. It is argued that the media disproportionately reports violent crime because is more serious and creates a better news story, which in turn gains more views for the media. Not many people would be intrigued hearing about how many parking violations occurred that day or how many petty thefts occurred. Non-violent crime is unintentionally, and sometimes

From an outsider’s perspective, the city of Sault Saint Marie, Ontario is not one that initially appears as being beautiful. As a result of the Algoma Steel Plant (the town’s primary industry), a pervasive scent of tar often paves the air and so, coats the lungs in the burning by-products of melted rubber. The persistence of long, harsh winters, courtesy of residing in the “True North” and along the banks of Lake Superior—where wind and water gush like spilled arteries over the land and sky—means that much of the Sault’s infrastructure has likewise melted with the frequent snowfall. This is prevalent in the sidewalks and roads which are in many places cracked, or in the process of doing so; they are like fissured wounds of asphalt that

The 22-year-old Marcus Hogberg inked a rookie entry-level contract on March 30, 2017. Hogberg appeared in three games last season in Binghamton. The 6’5, 216-pound, the goalkeeper was also outstanding in Sweden’s top League in 33 games posting a 1.89 GAA and .932 SV%. Hogberg was expected to push Danny Taylor and Andrew Hammond for starts and ice time in the upcoming year that was not to be the case as he was sent down to the Brampton Beast of the ECHL this week.

The Saskatchewan INP allows the province to nominate individuals that they feel will benefit the labour market and enhance the economic growth of the province. In order to qualify for this program a candidate must be working in a skilled profession, trade or in demand job. They must also have a long term, full time job offer from an approved SINP employer in Saskatchewan. Processing times very for each category.

The goal of this paper is to provide factual information addressing the links to deaths and injuries to different areas around Toronto. Map sources can be used to display and show the changes throughout the past decade to show where activity is taking place. To prove these theories as true, I will use the Toronto Police crime statistics website, review multiple “big name” papers (such as Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, National Post, and The Canadian Press), as well

Canada has two prominent statistics used to measure crime. Firstly, there is the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (UCR), which is made of crimes recorded by the police. As Jason Ditton (1979), a Constructionist, once pointed out that crime reports “have little to do with the amount of crime” but rather it is simply just a constructed report by the police. On the other hand, we have the General Social Survey (GSS), a victimization survey, which is conducted over a six to twelve month period (Statistics Canada, 2016). The goal of this survey is to “shed light on which people failed to contact the police and why” by asking them questions regarding their living conditions, experiences of victimization and their thought on safety (Morden and Palys, 2015, pg 80). This paper will talk about how both statistics are measured, how they are different, how they are able to complement each other and lastly how accurate they are.

I hope you and everyone at Spartan Eastern Canada are doing awesome, Some of these questions are from Canadian friends that have done a lot of Spartan Canada races. Please also note, some of these questions are based on rumors, speculations, and recent events, so please have them do there best to answer those ones.

This event started with the lack of care and interest to notice nurses of Watsonville Community Hospital complaints. Nurses were well over due with frustration at the way administration was handling safety and care of the patients. Also workers at this location were being mistreated and underpaid. A major concern was the under staffing which can put a company in a damper. Being under staff can cause destruction for a company. This situation could have been settled and the death of the patient could have been prevented. Nurses tried numerous times to get the administration attention about the problems occurring. Roughly, two hundred nurses’ strike out against this hospital; leading to the death of a patient. Community hospital hired a replacement

Canada, through its International Humanitarian Assistance Program, aims to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain the dignity of those affected by conflicts and natural disasters by providing timely and appropriate funding for food, water, shelter, protection and other humanitarian assistance. Coming out of the World Humanitarian Summit and its Grand Bargain (May 2016) and the United Nations Summit for Refugees and Migrants (September 2016), Canada made a commitment to working differently to reduce unprecedented levels of humanitarian need and forced displacement. These organizations ensure that people affected by conflicts, natural disasters and pandemics are physically safe, receive health care, and have food, water and shelter.
