Here is an article from October 30th 2009

Quote:
CALGARY - Calgary had the nation's highest metro rate for gang-related slayings last year--a contributing factor to the rise in the national homicide rate for 2008 -- a report from Statistics Canada has revealed.
But police and experts say 2008 was an anomaly that will not be repeated in 2009.
Quote:
Gang expert and author Michael Chettleburgh also said 2008 was an "anomalous year" and the same figures won't be seen in the 2009 report.
"I suspect we will see Calgary return to its rightful place as a safe big city," he said. "It can't continue its pace (as seen in 2008).The guys on the street will say 'time out.' "
