randomheroj 16 Report post Posted March 13, 2012 Hi. I'm just wondering what the penalties/fines are for having a motorized vehicle (snowmachine, auger, outboard, etc) on a conservation lake such as quetico? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MNR Report post Posted March 13, 2012 Quetico Park attracts people from all over the world because it is a wilderness park. Park wardens and Conservation Officers who find people operating augers, snowmachines, outboards etc. in the park can deal with them either through a warning, a ticket or a summons to appear in court. Equipment can also be seized and forfeited to the crown. The amount of a ticket varies between $75-$125 plus court costs. If you receive a summons to appear in court the presiding Justice of the Peace can impose the maximum set in the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserve Act, which for a first offence is $50,000.00 and/or 1 year imprisonment. The maximum fine goes up to $100,000.00 and/or 1 yr imprisonment for subsequent convictions under the act. Sounds like you're debating whether or not it's worth taking the chance of riding your snowmachine/quad or motorboat into the park. MNR carries out aerial enforcement flights throughout the year.
