What Are Provincial Offences in Ontario?
Provincial offences in Ontario are non-criminal charges governed by the Provincial Offences Act (POA). They typically involve breaches of provincial statutes, municipal by-laws, or regulations and are prosecuted by the province or municipality rather than the federal government. While they are not criminal charges, convictions can still carry serious consequences, including fines, demerit points, licence suspensions, court costs, and impacts on insurance or employment.
Common provincial offences include traffic tickets (such as speeding, careless driving, or driving without insurance), by-law violations, parking offences, and regulatory charges. These matters follow formal court procedures, strict timelines, and evidentiary rules.
Understanding your rights and options early is critical—because ignoring a POA charge or handling it incorrectly can lead to default convictions or increased penalties.
