Burk’s Falls

Burks Falls – Location Page

Located 265 kilometers North of Toronto and 90 kilometers South of North Bay is Burk’s Falls, Ontario. Burk’s Falls is a small village of just under one thousand people. A big part of the Burk’s Falls community is the Magnetawan River, which flows throughout. The public boat docks are in the center of the village and provide swift access to the water. It’s important to note though that even if you are on the water, provincial laws still apply. 

The Burks Falls waterways are patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police. Commonly laid charges on the water include those issued under the Cannabis Control Act and the Liquor License and Control Act. For example, Driving a Boat or Vessel with Cannabis Readily Available and Driving a Boat with Open Liquor will both render you a $175.00 fine and, if convicted, will appear on your driver’s record and could potentially impact your insurance. 

The Provincial Offences Court in Burks Falls is located at 300 Ontario Street in Burk’s Falls, Ontario. Not only do they hear charges laid under the Cannabis Control Act and the Liquor License and Control Act, but they also regularly hear charges laid under the Highway Traffic Act and Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
