Seasonal Charges and Tourism-Related Matters

Collingwood and Wasaga Beach see a spike in criminal charges during peak tourism seasons. Visitors may find themselves facing charges far from home — impaired driving after a night out, assault at a resort, or drug possession at a beach party. Our firm handles these cases regularly and can often arrange appearances that minimize travel for out-of-town clients.
