For the record, jaywalking has no definition in Ontario law and is not an offence. The Highway Traffic Act only emphasizes that pedestrians use crosswalks where available, but if crossing mid-block be aware of all traffic and ensure they can cross safely.
Further to my comment above, while not a provincial offence, it can be controlled at the municipal level. Jaywalking IS an offence in Toronto.
