Veelgestelde vragen

Can hotel security enter a guest's room?

Only for a clear reason allowed by hotel policy, such as a welfare concern or an emergency. Knock, announce yourself, wait, bring a second staff member where possible, and record the entry.

Can a hotel guard remove a non-guest from the lobby?

A guard acting for the hotel can tell a non-guest to leave. Under provincial trespass laws, refusing to leave when told is an offence. If the person will not go, call police rather than using force.

Is trespass law the same in every province?

No. Each province has its own trespass law, such as Ontario's Trespass to Property Act and Alberta's Trespass to Premises Act. The basic idea is similar: the occupier can tell people to leave, and calling police is the safest way to deal with someone who refuses.

What should I do if I suspect human trafficking?

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, write down what you saw, tell your manager, and call the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-833-900-1010 or local police.
