Please read the following Court Location Description section before answering Section 3 of the application form.

Vacancies are advertised by location referencing the name of a municipality where a criminal court of the Ontario Court of Justice is located (e.g., London, Cornwall). Assignments will be at this court location and other courts within the region.

The Ontario Court of Justice is divided into seven regions. These regions are listed below.  Included under each region are the base court locations that may be advertised in the event of a vacancy.

Justices of the peace are expected to be available to travel, sometimes on short notice, within their region. In addition, there is regularly scheduled travel associated with many locations.

The ratio of the total number of assignments connected to criminal court compared to the number of assignments connected to Provincial Offences Act (POA) court varies from one location to another.

Telewarrant assignments may be expanded in the future beyond the Central East Region to the entire province. You can expect to be assigned for at least one full rotation in telewarrants.
