Dr. Stephen Sheridan, the former chief veterinarian of the Toronto Humane Society, pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to comply with the conditions of a Wildlife Custodian Authorization and was fined $1,000. The court heard that between July 4, 2007, and October 10, 2008, Dr. Sheridan was ultimately responsible for the violation of three conditions of his Wildlife Custodian Authorization. Dr. Sheridan pleaded guilty to the release of raccoons on property in the Newmarket area, more than one kilometre from where they were captured. The authorization prohibits releasing raccoons more than one kilometre from point of capture in order to prevent the spread of diseases that they might carry. Dr. Sheridan also pleaded guilty to failing to notify the Area Manager of the Ministry of Natural Resources of receiving a specimen that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario list, and to failing to enter required information into the logbook within 24 hours on many occasions. Keeping proper records and ensuring that the ministry is aware of the intake of Species at Risk in Ontario is necessary to ensure that all wildlife is properly handled by a wildlife custodian, and to enable the ministry to intervene, if necessary. Justice of the Peace Jay Hong heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto, February 16, 2012. The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, prohibits any person from keeping live game wildlife or live specially protected wildlife in captivity except under the authority of a Wildlife Custodian Authorization and in accordance with the regulations. Wildlife custodians are authorized to provide specialized temporary care to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife so that they can be returned to the wild. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours.

Four Toronto residents have been fined $2,500 for illegal salmon fishing on the Humber River in the City of Toronto. Richard Muntyan, Ervin Paczok and Iles Glosczi pleaded guilty to charges under the Fisheries Act and the Ontario Fishery Regulations and were each fined a total of $500. Tibor Danyi also pleaded guilty to charges under the Fisheries Act and the Ontario Fishery Regulations and was fined a total of $1,000. In addition to the fines, their fishing equipment has been permanently forfeited. The court heard that on the afternoon of October 8, 2011, Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers found the men fishing within 25 yards downstream of a dam on the Humber River, in an area that is closed to fishing. The men were also observed to repeatedly jerk large weighted hooks and fishing lures through the water in order to deliberately snag salmon. Migratory fish, such as rainbow trout and salmon, are vulnerable to poaching when they congregate in the pools at the base of dams while moving upstream to spawn. Signs posted along the river remind anglers that no fishing is permitted within 25 yards downstream of the dam. Public complaints to enforcement officers have helped catch anglers who ignore the signs. Justice of the Peace Alice Napier heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto, on January 12, 2012. For further information on fishing regulations, please consult the 2012 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary, available at ServiceOntario/Government Information Centres, licence issuers and at ontario.ca/fishing.

This is all well and good, Ive been through the OFC discount scenario before, main problem is who administers it, im all for discounts and all, but the administration of this is time consuming, what happens with returns?? etc... Theres a reason that stores make 40 percent, to cover costs of doing business. Who ever takes this on wont find it "fun" for long.

Ya .. thats it, no reason to bring bait..

You would hope so.. I dont know much about the bait regulations..

I heard today that the MNR MAY (and I stress may have) have confirmed Lake Simcoe to have VHS. Has anyone else heard this??? The reason I'm asking is that IF (and I mean if) it does, does that mean bait businesses there will sell their minnows to travelers along the highway that bring infected bait further north, ie to Lake Nipissing.. or the Muskokas? or even Temagami for Ice fishing?? Can anyone verify this?? http://publicdocs.mn...chment_ID=25952 Like I said, I'm not sure about this, but it would be sad if true.

Sounds reasonable to me.
