If you do not exercise one of these 3 options – you will be deemed not to dispute the charge and a Justice of the Peace may enter a conviction against you in your absence. Upon conviction, additional costs will be added to the total payable.

Option 1 - payment

By choosing this option you are stating that you do not dispute the charge and you must pay the total payable on the offence/ticket.

Option 2 - plea of guilty with submissions as to penalty

By choosing this option known as a “walk-in-guilty” you are stating that you are guilty but wish to provide more information about your ability to pay the fine or that you need more time to pay. 

Please e-mail the Kenora Provincial Offences court office or call 807-467-2984. An audio appointment will be scheduled for you to speak to the Justice of the Peace.
