Is it true that a property owner or their agent can arrest someone committing a provincial offence in Ontario?

In Ontario, property owners or their agents do not have the authority to arrest individuals for provincial offences. Instead, only peace officers, such as police officers, have the powers to arrest individuals committing offences, whether they are criminal or provincial in nature. The role of a property owner or agent is generally limited to enforcing the rules and regulations of their property, such as asking someone to leave if they are trespassing. Unlike criminal law, where citizens might have some limited authority for citizen's arrest under specific circumstances, provincial offences do not afford similar rights to property owners or their agents. This primarily serves to maintain public order and ensure that trained professionals handle such situations.
