flag Southern Ontario gangs are expanding into smaller cities like Sudbury, driving a rise in drug-related gun violence and youth involvement.

flag Criminal gangs from southern Ontario, especially Toronto and Mississauga, are expanding into smaller communities like Sudbury, fueling a surge in drug trafficking and gun violence. flag Driven by higher profits in opioid crisis-affected areas, gangs use "apartment takeovers" and recruit local youth to carry out operations while leadership remains hidden. flag Greater Sudbury saw eight firearm-related homicides in 2025, most tied to drugs, and youth involvement in violent crime is rising nationwide. flag Gangs are also linked to sex trafficking, particularly of young Indigenous women. flag Though gun crime rates have been stable, the nature of violence has shifted toward drug-related offenses, with American-made firearms increasingly moving north.
