A wide range of new provincial rules and regulations come into effect today, from self-serve lottery terminals verifying buyers’ ages to requiring women-only bathrooms on construction sites.
Ontario is rolling out self-serve lottery ticket terminals and a regulation change will allow the machines to verify the customer is at least 18 years old so staff don’t have to individually check I-Ds.
The changes also include a step aimed at cottage country with a ban on provincial waterways on floating accommodations, such as rafts and barges that have buildings or structures for people to stay in overnight.
Some changes not coming into effect today are increases for driver and vehicle fees such as driver’s licences and tests that had been set to go up July 1st.
