One was a Canadian citizen, who, you would assume is familiar with the area and the requirements or at least knew how to find those requirements.
North Bay is a fair sized town/city. Not being snarky, but the article doesn't say what they were doing that caused the arrest. Were they only food shopping for while they were "attending" their seasonal property? Did they have another option? I don't know if delivery is an option in smaller towns in that area or if their "seasonal property" is someplace that delivery becomes an option. Not enough information in the article to make a judgement.
