Page "Youth Criminal Justice Act" Paragraph 154

Section 42 ( 2 )( k ) under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, allows a young person to be placed on Probation ( as specified by conditions and other matters related to probation orders under sections 55 and 56 ) for a specified period of time not exceeding two years.

Orders may range from being supervised by the provincial director ; remain within the territorial jurisdiction of one or more courts ; attending school ; or having to reside at a place specified by the provincial director.

The Youth Justice Court prescribes these conditions as an order so the young person will learn to be of good behaviour and appear before the youth justice court when required to do so.
