A provincial offence is a legal term referring to what are, usually, minor infractions, often referred to as a quasi-criminal matter, rather than as a criminal law violation. A provincial offence is more like a violation of guidelines for everyday life within Ontario. Probably the most commonly known and understood provincial offence involves a traffic ticket; however, there are many other provincial offences that involve a broad variety of concerns. Consequences for committing a provincial offence typically involve a fine; however, for some matters, a jail term is possible.
