flag Ontario enacts stricter impaired driving penalties effective Jan. 1, 2026, with zero tolerance for cannabis, longer suspensions for young drivers, and extended look-back periods.

flag Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario will enforce stricter penalties for impaired driving, including longer licence suspensions for young and novice drivers with any alcohol presence or cannabis use, a zero-tolerance policy for cannabis, and an extended 10-year look-back period for prior offences. flag First-time offenders must complete a remedial education program, while repeat offenders face treatment requirements. flag The 90-day suspension for a blood alcohol level of 80 mg or higher or refusing a breath test remains unchanged. flag Additional proposed measures include lifetime suspensions for dangerous driving causing death, increased fines, and vehicle impoundment, though these require legislative approval.
