Which of the following is NOT an offence under section 2 of the Trespass To Property Act

Enters on premises when entry is prohibited
Engages in an activity on premises when the activity is prohibited
Does not leave the premises within 10 minutes after he or she is directed to do so by the occupier of the premises or a person authorized by the occupier

The correct answer is: Does not leave the premises within 10 minutes after he or she is directed to do so by the occupier of the premises or a person authorized by the occupier

The Trespass to Property Act in Ontario, Canada outlines certain offenses that involve unauthorized entry or activities on a premise. According to Section 2 of the Act, the following are considered offences: entering a premise when entry is explicitly prohibited and engaging in an activity on the premises when that specific activity is prohibited. However, the Act does not stipulate a specific time within which an individual is required to leave a premise after being instructed to do so. Therefore, the assertion that not leaving a premise within 10 minutes after being directed constitutes an offence does not align with the regulations of the Act. This makes it the correct answer to the question. What the law demands, however, is for individuals to leave immediately after being instructed by the occupier or a person authorized by the occupier. There's no particular mention of a 10-minute grace period in the Trespass to Property Act.
