ساسکاتون رتبه اول قتل و جنایت را در بین شهرهای کانادا از دست داد

   Saskatoon lost its dubious claim to the title of murder capital of Canada last year.

According to an annual report released this week by Statistics Canada, the city recorded four homicides in 2008, resulting in a per-capita rate of 1.55 for every 100,000 residents -- lower than the overall national rate of 1.83, and less than half the 2007 rate of 3.6.

The highest homicide rates in the country in 2008 were recorded in western metropolitan areas: Abbotsford-Mission, B.C. (4.71), Winnipeg (4.07), Regina (3.82), Edmonton (3.44), Kelowna, B.C. (3.43), Calgary (2.87) and Vancouver (2.37).

On a provincial level, the West remains the wildest part of the country. Manitoba's overall rate was the highest, followed by Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C.

The licences will cost SGI $6 million to develop and won’t be ready until 2011. But drivers will only have to renew their licences every five years with the new format instead of every year.

“I think it’s about time we did it,” said June Draude, minister responsible for SGI.

“First of all it’s going to make us the same as every other jurisdiction in North America, the same type of licence, which will allow police departments in other jurisdictions to understand this is actually a driver’s licence.”
