Statistics Canada is the national statistical office, which provides key information to Canadians on Canada's economy, society and environment to enable them to function effectively and make make policy decisions.

There were 2,490 opioid drug offences in Canada in 2018, resulting in a rate of 7 incidents per 100,000 population. B.C. had (21 per 100,000 population), Alberta (11) and Ontario (5).

The highest rates of opioid offences were Kelowna (101), Lethbridge (84), Abbotsford–Mission (19), Vancouver (19) and Brantford (19).

It does seem like the drug problem is pretty bad though from the @StatCan_eng report -

"The CMAs with the highest rates of opioid-related offences were Kelowna (101), Lethbridge (84), Abbotsford-Mission (19), Vancouver (19) and Brantford (19)."
