There’s no single, shared definition of hate crime in Canada. Different groups define it in their ways, often in isolation. The hate crime definition we advocate for is:
What is a Hate Crime?
“
A hate crime is a criminal offence committed against a person or property, which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the suspect’s hate, bias, or prejudice towards an identifiable group based on, real or perceived race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. Examples include mischief, assault, uttering threats, criminal harassment, arson, murder.

A hate incident is a non-criminal action committed against a person or property where the motive includes hate, bias or prejudice against an identifiable group or the victim’s real or perceived identity.
