What is Criminal Harassment?

According to the Criminal Code, criminal harassment is acting towards someone or saying something to someone in such a way that they feel harassed or frightened for their safety or that of their acquaintances. 

Following or attempting to contact a person repeatedly, even through another person, may constitute criminal harassment. However, depending on the gravity of the act, it may be sufficient for just one such gesture to bring an accusation against you.

If you are found guilty of such an offense you could face up to a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment.
