Ontario Bill 186

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
April 15, 2024
  • The Bill enacts the Growing Agritourism Act, 2024. The Act applies in respect of agritourism activities that are carried out as part of a farming business that has an annual gross income of $7,000 or more. Agritourism activities are defined as agriculture related educational, entertainment, historical, cultural, limited accommodations or recreational activities, including you-pick operations or farm markets, conducted on a farm that allows or invites members of the general public to observe, participate in or enjoy that activity.

    The Act provides that if an agritourism provider includes warning language set out in the Act in signs at or near the main entrance to each agritourism activity or in every contract entered into with each participant in respect of agritourism activities, no cause of action arises against an agritourism provider for any harm a participant sustains during an agritourism activity if that harm is a result of a risk inherent in an agritourism activity. The Act also provides that agritourism providers are not required to eliminate risks inherent in an agritourism activity.
