What is the maximum fine for an individual under the LLCA, 2019?

Under the LLCA (Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act), 2019, the maximum fine for an individual is set at $100,000. This fine is imposed to ensure that individuals understand the seriousness of non-compliance with conservation and environmental regulations specified in the act. The LLCA is designed to protect the natural resources, lakes, and rivers within Ontario, thereby emphasizing the need for responsible stewardship of these areas.

Fines like these serve as a deterrent against activities that could harm the environment, ensuring that individuals are held accountable for their actions. The amount of $100,000 reflects the importance the legislation places on environmental protection, as well as the significant impact that violations could have on ecosystems, communities, and the overall health of the province's natural resources.
