Safety and access
Turn on "Show area safety figures" in the school directory to see a Crime Severity Index from Statistics Canada police-reported data for most schools. It is a metro-area or province-wide figure, so it describes the wider area, not the school grounds.
Schools also have a location band, from Excellent to Remote, based on drive times to the nearest of nine major cities and their airports: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec City and Halifax. Sort the directory by "Most Accessible Location" to see the easiest schools to reach first.
