Will the Toronto City Worker Strike Affect Traffic Ticket Trials?

The Toronto Civic Employees’ Union Local 416 (CUPE) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 79 have announced that they are on strike. During this strike, Provincial Offences offices will remain open and traffic ticket trials will run as normal. If anyone is attending an Ontario Provincial Offences Court for a trial in regards to a Toronto Traffic Ticket, there is a possibility that you will be required to cross a picket line to do so.

Court administration may be affected, therefore it may become more difficult to file for a court date or complete any filings with the courts. We will post any updates to this information as the strike continues.

Please see the link below for further information on the courts and other services affected during the strike:
