Ontario’s government launches new fish and wildlife licensing service

Hunters and fishers now have an easier way to get their Outdoors Cards and licences in Ontario.

Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, John Yakabuski, says the government has launched a new licensing service to make it easier to buy hunting and fishing licences.

He adds the service is easy to use, with new mobile features and a single Outdoors Card.

It can be accessed online or to to participating ServiceOntario locations or licence issuers.
For new licences go to: huntandfishontario.com,

“We’ve improved our service so you can get out on the lake or into the woods in less time by purchasing licences from the comfort of home,” said Yakabuski. “Interacting with your government should be seamless, and we’ve replaced the old service with one that serves everyone in the province.”

Ontario’s Government for the People also recently announced its plan to honour past and present members of the Canadian Armed Forces by amending fishing regulations so veterans and active Canadian Armed Forces members can enjoy free recreational fishing by early 2019.
