Provincial Offenses Act - Courts Information and Ticket Payments
The Provincial Offences Act (POA) governs how charges are processed and prosecuted. It applies to all provincial statutes as well as municipal by-laws and some minor federal contraventions. Most of the POA offences filed in our court fall under the Highway Traffic Act, the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, the Liquor Licence Act or the Trespass to Property Act.
Temporary On-Street Parking Permits are available at our offices for occasions such as: paving or repairs to driveways, home renovations, or for visitor/guest parking when parking requirements temporarily exceed the parking provisions. For one night of unplanned overnight on-street parking, please use the after-hours message service at 905-338-4394 to record your address, licence number and make of your car.
