Tough new laws will deter trespassing. we're helping to protect you Your ProPerlY• For nearly 150 years Ontario has had a law making it an offence to enter property where entry is prohibited. But now new legislation— 'The Trespass to Property Act—has toughened up the law to protect your rights. • Trespassers can now be fined up to $1,000. In addition, they can be ordered to pay for damages they have caused. An important part of the legislation designates premises where entry is prohibited without notice. These include your gardens, orchards, vineyards, land under cultivation, woodlots and fenced land. Where notice must be given to prohibit entry, you may use red markings on gates, trees or fences. Yellow markings may be used to caution that only certain activities may be permissible. It is the responsibility of the visitor to find out what you permit. LAND USED FOR RECREATION In the past, there was a great deal of confusion regarding your responsibility to people you allow on your land. Consequently many farmers and rural landholders would not allow recreational activities on their properties. Now another new act—The Occupiers' Liability Act—reduces your responsi- bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes that those who take their recreation on most rural land without paying a fee will take care for their own safety. A specia) system has been devised to allow you to easily indicate which activities you will allow on your property. A sign naming or graphically representing an activity (for example, hiking) indicates that the activity is permitted. The same kind of sign with an oblique stroke through it means that you prohibit the activity. These new laws are part of a continuing program to streainline our legislation. By clarifying your rights, they afford you greater protection from trespass and also reduce your liability when you make land available for recreational purposes.
