BELLEVILLE – Hunting-licence fees will not be going up this year; the Ontario government has decided to freeze them.
In addition to a freeze on fees [2], the province has said it will eliminate the $2 service fee for all licences [3].
The government has also made changes to hunting regulations. These include a licence summary that can be printed or stored on a mobile device, new paper tags and enhanced hunter reporting.
The move comes after the province froze fees for fishing licences [4] last month. The Progressive Conservative [5] government has said both moves are meant to keep licences for fishing and hunting affordable for Ontarians to enjoy the outdoors.
