New OCJ Remand Protocol Effective May 25, 2020
The Ontario Court of Justice has released a new remand Protocol effective today. Essentially, matters will continue to be adjourned 10 weeks from the current date.
The protocol applies to current court dates between May 25, 2020 and July 3, 2020. I have attached a link to the directive:

Taking Of DNA Samples
York Regional Police, Operations and Administration has established a mechanism for the taking of court ordered DNA samples during the time of the closure of the Newmarket Courthouse. A temporary location has been set up at 50 Eagle Street permitting the taking of court ordered DNA samples without bringing the public into the main building area. The room for taking samples is located south of the front doors near the Family Law Information Centre. The location has its own entrance and is completely closed off from the remainder of the building.
It is recommended that sentences with DNA orders be made for the following day at 50 Eagle Street at 10:00 a.m. Police will have ident processors available. The goal is to reduce the backlog anticipated when courts return to normal operations.
