The Ontario Provincial Police in partnership with participating municipal police services are holding a Gun Amnesty during the month of April.
The gun amnesty is for any Ontario resident who wishes to voluntarily surrender unwanted or illegally-owned firearms, weapons, accessories or ammunition.
During the amnesty, police will not recommend weapons-related Criminal Code charges that might otherwise apply to people who are turning in these items.
Police note no amnesty is offered for people who turn in weapons that have been used in the commission of a crime and no anonymous submissions will be accepted.
Interested gun owners can call the OPP or their local police service to arrange for officers to retrieve the weapons.
Under no circumstances should anyone deliver guns or ammunition directly to police facilities.
