$880 Fine for hosting a large house party 

The illegal gathering goes against the Reopening Ontario Act, which prohibits more than 10 people from gathering inside at one time. 

The OPP revealed that the host of the party was an 18-year-old who lived in the area. 

The host has now been fined $880 for "fail to comply with a continued section 7.0.2 order."

However, this isn't the first time that party-goers have been charged. 

A Quebec Airbnb party was busted over the weekend and $83,000 worth of fines were handed out.
