Fine option program for non-traffic tickets

The Crown may offer this program to you if:

• you are an adult
• you are a first or second-time offender
• you admit you are guilty and you want to take part
• not paying your fine means you go to jail

If you are approved for this program:

• you can do community work for minimum wage until your fine is paid off
• you might avoid getting a criminal record
