licences after July 31
Effective July 31, the Wingham
office of the Ministry of Natural
Resources will not be selling hunt
ing and fishing licences.
“In order that the Ministry is not
competing with local licence issu
ers, we will not be issuing hunting
and fishing licences out of this
office after July 31”, said District
Administration Supervisor Orville
Crawford. This approach brings us
into line with other Ministry offices
across Ontario. Because of the low
relative numbers, plus the need to
keep records, the Ministry will
continue to issue raccoon licences,
raccoon dog licences, bait fish
licences and trappers’ licences.”

or fishing licences locally can
purchase them at the Canadian
Tire Stores, Wingham Sales Arena
