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.

Actually, it's not clear this is the case, generally, the municipal bylaws cannot contravene the HTA. This is why WRPS stated unequivocally that the "cyclists must ride single file" bylaw would not be enforced.
And for the record, this is in Waterloo Region, not Toronto, and there is no bylaw against it. CTV is implying something is illegal which is perfectly legal.
