The City of Kenora provides administration and court services for all Provincial Offences in the Kenora area including Kenora, Red Lake, Ear Falls, and Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls. The Provincial Offences (POA) office is located in City Hall at 1 Main St. S, Kenora.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to ensure the safety of all participants, some Provincial Offences Court proceedings are being held remotely by video/audio conference at this time. 

If you have any questions about the scheduling of your Provincial Offences Act offence, please contact the POA Court Services Office.

Ticket options

If you are issued a Provincial Offence ticket, you should carefully read payment and trial options on the back of the ticket. Within 15 days of receipt of your offence/ticket – you must select one of the 3 options shown on your offence notice. 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 knows 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. 

Option 3 - trial request

If you wish to plead not guilty, you must sign Option 3 on the back of the ticket. You can mail it or drop it off at the POA office at 1 Main Street South, Kenora. You will receive a Notice of Trial by mail; please make sure your mailing address is correct on the ticket. If you do not receive a Notice of Trial in 3-4 weeks, contact the Provincial Offences Court office to confirm the status.

You must choose one of the three options within 15 days from the date you received the offence notice. If you fail to respond, the notice will be processed as undisputed.
