MNR Looking Into Outdoor Card Use

Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources is looking into ways to prevent fraudulent use of its Outdoors Card.
But for now they say they will have to rely on the honesty of anglers and hunters.
A Ministry Spokesperson says they think there are only a few cases of fraud.
The relative ease with which an Outdoors Card can be obtained for improper use came to light after a card-bearing Chicago-area angler told a conservation officer in the Ear Falls area he was from
Mississauga.
The man, who had been using a fraudulent card for 17 years, pleaded guilty earlier this month and was fined $5,000.
He was snared when he didn’t know the name of Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion.
