---Disabled Canadian residents-- if you are eligible for either of these, it must be in your possession when fishing

Actually, it was nice to see the CO's out at Buckham's last weekend! Although they could've, they didn't ask the young lad to produce any birth certificate.

Nice to know they could though

Thanks Spinner

A was sceptical about that but that is what the regulations say. I would imagine a CO with better things to do would not bother 12 year olds or olds guys with their drivers licences.

These days, its not a good idea to carry around SIN cards or birth certificates. Get your wallet stolen and see how long it takes to get replacements, or what can happen when somebody steals your identity.

I had no idea that if you have a parking permit that ou don't need afishing licence. What are the restrictions when doing so?? Is it the same limits as a 'sport' licence or is it the reduced quota of the 'conservation' licence?

My dad's been buying his for the last couple years even though he has the parking permit for his condition.

Thanks

I have to disagree with you on that one Tony as the regs, in my opinion, clearly state that a license is not required but I do suggest that if anyone has concerns they can call the MNR for their own clarification

Hi Spinner, please read my post I never even mentioned anything about a license I am into my second year of not having to buy a license, but I still have to buy an outdoors card and if and when I get stopped by the MNR produce it along with my seniors card yes they will accept my birth certificate as proof of age.

I understand what you are saying Tony and it's possible they accept the seniors card and outdoors card; I don't personally know. I'm not denying that they will accept those but you had written that they must also still have their outdoors card and must also show their Seniors card and that is where I disagreed as I believe that the birth certificate is enough on it's own.
I stated that seniors in my opinion only need their birth certificate as stated in the regs to be legal and personally that is what I would carry if I were a senior unless I verified for myself that other ID is acceptable in it's place as you may have done yourself.

That's all I have to say on this.
Hope that clears it up
Have a great day

I also heard DNA swabs will be taken for submitting to carbon-14 dating.

What about the Lures 2cm or smaller (in any direction) and contain more than 1 % lead by weight?

Tony is right in that he needs his card but that is because he is also a hunter . this is why you still needs the card.

I emailed the ministry about the Outdoors Card question for 65 and older, as well as 18 and under. I also asked if it was expected for my 9 yr old grandson to carry his birth certificate.

I suggested that maybe the ministry should issue special cards for youth, valid until their 18th birthday, and special seniors cards valid until death.

I will post the answers as I get them.
