HALDIMAND—Toby Barrett, MPP Haldimand-Norfolk and Parliamentary Assistant for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, reports Ontario is putting a stop to fishing licence fee increases and removing the $2 service fee.

In addition to freezing fees, the government is adding two new licence-free fishing events in 2019 —on the weekends of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Families will be able to enjoy fishing at no cost, making it easier to spend time together.
