Sturgeon Falls

Sturgeon Falls 

Sturgeon Falls is in Northeastern Ontario off of Lake Nipissing. Although Sturgeon Falls does not directly border the province of Quebec, it is the most bilingual community in Ontario. 73% of the Sturgeon Falls population speak both English and French. Filled with lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and ample hiking trails, Sturgeon Falls is really a nature-lovers dream!

Due to its terrain, Sturgeon Falls sees many tickets issued under the Trespass to Property Act, Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, and The Highway Traffic Act. Tickets issued under these acts are Provincial Offences. The Provincial Offence Court in Sturgeon Falls is located at 201 River Street in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario. This court location is a satellite court for the main North Bay Provincial Offences Court office.

Provincial Offences are not criminal and therefore not issued under the Criminal Code. They will not result in a criminal record if you are found guilty, but they will have penalties associated with them. 

For example, if you are charged under section 10(1)(a) of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act for Trespass on Premises for the Purpose of Hunting or Fishing the associated penalties are up to one year incarceration and a maximum fine of $25,000.

To know the full extent of the penalties you are facing, reach out to our team at 226-647-6869 or email a picture of your ticket to help@otdlegal.ca.
