A Statistics Canada report reveals that Nova Scotia and Ontario had the highest per capita rates of police-reported human trafficking in 2024, with Guelph and Thunder Bay leading in Ontario. Nova Scotia recorded 4.5 incidents per 100,000 people, while Ontario had a rate of 2.3. The report emphasizes that actual cases may be underreported due to the hidden nature of trafficking and challenges victims face in seeking help. The decline in reported incidents in Nova Scotia since 2020 suggests improved awareness and reporting mechanisms.
