Fishing Permits

[lilkynan]

My inlaws are coming up for the weekend, and my father in law never fishes but said he would like to go out for a morning.

 

I beleive that seniors over 65 do not require a license - is this correct? - Cant find my "current" reg book from two years ago.

You are right...here's the info from the regs...

 

Who does NOT need to purchase a Fishing

Licence?

1. Residents of Canada who are under 18 years of age or 65

years of age or older, and are in possession of their Birth

Certificate.

2. Disabled Canadian residents, if they are eligible for and in

possession of EITHER:

• a Canadian National Institute for the Blind National

Identity Card; OR

• an Ontario Ministry of Transportation disabled person

parking permit.

3. Canadian residents who are in possession of their Birth

Certificate and who require the direct assistance of, and

are accompanied by, another person to fish and to follow

applicable fishing laws due to a condition of mental impairment

or a developmental disability, a learning disability or

dysfunction, or a mental disorder.

 

Those who qualify to fish without purchasing a fishing licence

as indicated above, may fish with the same catch and possession

limits as holders of a Resident Sport Fishing Licence tag.

Additionally, they have the same responsibilities as those who

have purchased an Outdoors Card and fishing licence tag and

must abide by all regulations.

Hey, I was "hatched" and had my share of downturns, but made it, lol.

 

And, I do have my birth certificate, have needed it recently, when renewing my Health Card.

I do as well...

 

Not a possibility anymore for the younger lads/lasses, as you can't plastic laminate them anymore. Thus good for nothing but drawer/safe storage.
