A peace bond is an order from a criminal court that restrains one person from bothering or threatening another. The bond can last for up to twelve months. The person deemed abusive can be made subject to arrest or fine for breaching the terms of the bond. It is written under Section 810 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Although the Peace Bond is derived from the criminal code, it is not in-and-of-itself a criminal record. Therefore, it does not affect eligibility for a record suspension.
