The City of Mississauga says the Provincial Offences Court located at 950 Burnhamthorpe Road West will be reopening on Aug. 4, 2020, for administrative functions only.

The court was closed in March at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the city, a number of services will be available come Aug 4., including:

  • Filing for a trial date
  • Filing for an early resolution date
  • Filing for a screening appointment
  • Paying a penalty notice
  • Paying a provincial offence certificate
  • Applying for a reopening of a case
  • Applying for an extension of time to pay
  • General inquiries

The city says all Provincial Offences Act (POA) matters such as traffic tickets and offences under provincial legislation scheduled from March 16, 2020, through to (and including) Sept. 11, 2020, will be adjourned and rescheduled to a later date.

If you have a matter scheduled during this time, a notice of your new court date will be sent to you by mail to the address on file with the court.

The province extended all time limits under the Provincial Offences Act until Sept. 11, 2020.
