Construction of the Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square is forcing provincial offences court to move to the Lionel E. Lalonde Centre in Azilda for two years beginning Sept. 29.
Provincial offences court hearings are normally held during the day in council chambers.
'This temporary move is necessary to advance the Cultural Hub project, an initiative that will bring together key cultural and community services in a centralized, accessible location,' the city said in a news release.
'Every effort is being made to ensure uninterrupted access to municipal services during construction. Most services will continue to be offered at Tom Davies Square as usual. Updates will be provided if there are any changes to service locations.'
Virtual court will continue
The Lionel E. Lalonde Centre is located at 239 Montée Principale in Azilda. The city said virtual court appearances will continue to be available.
'The provincial offences administration office will remain at 199 Larch St., Suite 102, where ticket administration and payments will continue to be processed as usual,' the release said.
The city's GOVA transit system will adjust Route 104 Azilda–Chelmsford starting Aug. 23 to improve access to the new court location.
GOVA routes and schedules can be found here.
'There will be impacts to council and committee meetings as part of the construction,' city spokesperson April Low said in an email.
'The public will be advised in the coming weeks on the timing and logistics.'
Provincial offences court handles matters such as traffic violations, bylaw infractions, parking offences and provincial ministry offences through the Ontario Court of Justice.

Northern Ont. man fined $1,800 for camping too long on Crown land
A northern Ontario man was fined $1,800 after pleading guilty to breaking the 21-day rule for camping on Crown land. Michael Cox of Atikokan overstayed his welcome after leaving his camper trailer in the same spot for at least six weeks at Williamson Lake in northwestern Ontario last year. Conservation officers first noted the trailer at the lake's landing on May 14, 2023. 'The trailer was noted to be in the same location on multiple occasions until it was removed on June 25, 2023, after Cox had been contacted,' the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry said in a news release Feb. 16. The guilty plea was entered Nov. 17 in a hearing held by Justice of the Peace Nancy Tulloch in Atikokan. 'Canadian residents can camp for free on Crown land for up to 21 days at one site in a calendar year, unless the site has been restricted for a specific reason,' the ministry said in a June 13, 2019 bulletin. 'After 21 days, the person and camping equipment must move a minimum of 100 meters to another location.' Campers from outside of Canada are required to purchase a Crown land camping permit which costs $9.35 per person per day plus HST.
