Proceedings Commenced by Certificate of Offence:  Revised Forms and OFM Technical Guideline

Bulletin # 004/09

June 12, 2009

This is a reminder that effective July 1, 2009, fire services must implement use of revised forms when initiating proceedings under Part I of the Provincial Offences Act as the older “Certificate of Offence”, “Offence Notice” and “Summons” forms become invalid on that date. These changes were adopted on January 1, 2009, through amendments to Regulation 950 (R.R.O. 1990), Proceedings Commenced by Certificate of Offence, made under the Provincial Offences Act. For additional information please go to OFM Communique #2009-04 or access Regulation 950 through the e-Laws web site at http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca.

Please note also that the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) technical guideline OFM-TG-01-2006 has been withdrawn and replaced with a revised document OFM-TG-02-2009 "Commencing Proceedings Under Part I of the Provincial Offences Act" to reflect the amendments to Regulation 950. The revised guideline can be accessed using the following link to the OFM web site http://www.ofm.gov.on.ca/english/Publications/Guidelines/default.asp.

For questions or additional information, please contact the Fire Safety Standards Section of the OFM at (416) 325 3100.
