The province is making life more affordable by cancelling the hunting license fee increase for all Ontario residents, which will remove the two-dollar fee.

“We’re making it easier for Ontarians to enjoy the great outdoors by keeping hunting licenses affordable,” said Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “This year, there will be no price hike and no service fee. This will put approximately $1.6 million back into the pockets of the hard-working people of Ontario.”

The government has also updated all hunting regulations to make the overall experience better for hunters across the province. The changes include a new license summary which can be stored on your phone or printed at home, paper tags that replace the old game seals and enhanced hunter reporting.

“The hunting industry contributes nearly half a billion dollars to the Ontario economy,” said Yakabuski. “Our hunters are some of the best stewards of our lands and waters and we want to make it easier for them to enjoy our world class natural resources.”
