What is Mischief?
Mischief is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada. A person commits mischief when they willfully damage property, make it dangerous or useless, or interfere with someone’s lawful use or enjoyment of it.
This also includes tampering with computer data such as:
- deleting files
- making data unusable
- blocking access to it.
Common mischief examples in Toronto and surrounding areas include graffiti, slashing tires, breaking windows, blasting loud music at night, pulling a false fire alarm, or damaging a person’s computer.
Mischief is treated even more seriously if it targets places like religious buildings, schools, or war memorials, or if it’s motivated by hate based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other personal characteristics.


Mischief Penalties & Consequences in Canada
In Canada, mischief is classified as a hybrid offence, meaning the Crown can decide to proceed either by summary conviction (for less serious cases) or by indictment (for more serious cases). The penalties can vary significantly based on the value of the damage and the circumstances involved.
Mischief Under $5000
- Summary Conviction: Up to 2 years less a day in jail, a fine up to $5000, or both
- Indictment: Up to 2 years in jail
Mischief Over $5000
- Summary Conviction: Same as above
- Indictment: Up to 10 years in jail
A mischief conviction can lead to a criminal record, affect your employment opportunities, and create long-term legal consequences. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an experienced mischief lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and future.
