Payment Options
Mail in a cheque or money order, payable to Provincial Court, for the total amount of the ticket- this is the amount shown in the box marked in red on the front part of the ticket.

What to expect when you get a ticket for an infraction
Be sure to read the back of the ticket. It contains Important information.
If there is an amount shown in the box marked in red on the front side of the ticket, then the ticket can be settled out of court. That means you can plead guilty and make a voluntary payment, without appearing in front of a judge. You must sign the back of the ticket and fill in the box indicating you are pleading guilty. If paying the ticket by mail, then send in the signed ticket with your payment. If paying in person, take the signed ticket with you to the office where you will be paying it.
If no amount is shown on the face of the ticket, then you must appear in Court at the date, time and place set out on the ticket for plea.
If you want to contest the ticket, then you can appear before a Justice of a Peace at one of the Provincial Courthouses during normal working hours to enter a not guilty plea. The Justice of the Peace will then set a date for your trial. Your trial will NOT be held on the day you enter the not guilty plea. It will be on a later date so that you and the Crown Prosecutor will have time to get your witnesses to court and prepare for the trial.
If you do not want to dispute the ticket, you may plead guilty before the Justice of the Peace, who will impose the fine, administrative charge and surcharge, as set out on the ticket, and determine the time you have to pay that amount.
Note:
There is a date on the front of the ticket indicating you are required to deal with the ticket by that date-either by pleading not guilty or guilty. If you have not plead guilty to the ticket or appeared at the courthouse to plead not guilty by the date indicated, then section 12 of the Summary Proceedings Act indicates that the Justice of the Peace must enter a conviction against you and impose the penalty set out on the front of the ticket.
