Thunder Bay again has the dubious distinction of being the murder capital of Canada.
The latest Crime Severity Index from Statistics Canada shows we were number one in homicides last year and in crime severity itself.
Police spokesperson Chris Adams admits there are still challenges the city needs to overcome in making us safer from crime. That includes issues in the community that are out of the control of police and require a long term investment to correct.
Adams notes the statistics also show police here have the highest rate in the country for solving crimes. (File Photo)
