London ranks among five metro areas in Canada that together account for nearly half of all human trafficking reports in the last decade, a new snapshot of the crime shows.
There were 570 cases of human trafficking reported to police in Canada last year, down slightly from 597 in 2022, according to a Statistics Canada report released Friday.
Despite the slight decrease in the latest human trafficking report, cases have been on the rise for the past decade, with more than four-fifths recorded in large urban areas, the report said.
