New Licence for Hunters and Anglers The Ministry of Natural Resources is moving ahead with its plans to in : traduce a new card-based licensing system for Ontario's 1.5 million resident resident hunters and anglers. The Outdoors Card system will come into effect on January 1, 1993, the first day of the 1993 sportfishing licensing year. Under the new system, Ontario residents will need the card to buy a licence and to legally hunt or fish in 1993. The new card will be valid valid for three yeas and serve as an identity identity card. It will cost $6, including GST. "MNR is introducing the card to make the Ontario sportfishing and hunting licence system more efficient for hunters, anglers and licence issuers," issuers," said Natural Resources Minister Minister Bud Wildman. "It is also a response response to a long-standing request by Ontario's hunters and anglers for a more accurate and practical way of issuing issuing and controlling licences." Under the new system, most forms of angling and hunting licences, will be paperless. The new licences will be stickers attached to the back of the card. With the card, hunters and anglers anglers will be able to purchase most of their licences at the same time. In appearance, the Outdoors Card will resemble a credit card or bank card. The front will carry the name and description of the licence holder. The reverse will have -a magnetic stripe and spaces for licence renewal stickers. Hunters and anglers will be required to carry their card with them at all times while hunting or fishing. While two distinctive cards arc being being issued - one for resident anglers and one for resident hunters - individuals individuals will only need one card, since hunters will be able to use their hunting hunting card to buy a resident sportfishing licence. The hunting Outdoors Card will be used to certify a person's eligibility eligibility to hunt. In November, MNR will mail Outdoors Outdoors Card application forms to current current licence holders. Card applications will also be available from local MNR offices and licence issuers in November. November.
