The Provincial and Territorial Courts in Canada are local trial “inferior” or “lower” courts of limited jurisdiction established in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. These courts typically hear criminal, civil (or “small claims”), family, traffic, and bylaw cases.
I attended one of the court rooms because I received a notice of a trial for a driving infraction. The judge was professional, thorough and fair. She reduced my fine and I proceeded to pay it at the ticket counter in the lobby. The system of getting an electronic ticket from counter 1, then waiting for your number to appear above one of the other counters is fair. HOWEVER during the busiest time of day: 1-3 pm why is there only FOUR counters available to assist when there are NINE counters that could be open and assisting the public? The wait was torturous, especially when my parking voucher is about to expire! I hope not to be back anytime soon! I was there today I couldn't see my name on a list. A very nice officer came over and helped me. The prosecutor I spoke with very nice and nderstanding. Thank you for listening and hearing me. I've been here twice now- once to let them know I was going to fight a ticket and then a second time to change my court date. After reading the reviews, I didn't have much hope for a good experience. However, I have nothing to complain about. The people working there were very pleasant and helpful. I went at about 3:30-4:00pm each time and barely had a wait at all (maybe 5 minutes total). I don't love that I have to go in person to do things... that's super annoying, but when you get there, they are very friendly. Far far away from downtown inadequate parking .
