The ability to purchase hunting and fishing licenses as well as provincial park vehicle permits online will soon be available in Dauphin.
Elicensing will be introduced to Manitoba in the spring of 2020.
This will allow people to create a customer profile and purchase specific licenses online just like any other online purchases.
Managing director Carly Deacon said that elicensing will have a major impact on the convenience of getting licenses and permits.
“It allows hunters, anglers, or people who want to access park permits online so you can pretty much set up an account online and then purchase your required licenses. So it improves accessibility to getting those licenses. It’s insanely convenient and it is one hundred percent something that MWF (Manitoba Wildlife Federation) has been advocating for the last five years. It’s a huge endeavor for the province and we are insanely happy about it and congratulating them big time on this because it’s something that’s going to improve significantly on hunters and anglers getting out in the field and having the appropriate permits to do that.”
Customers will have 24 hour access to their permits and the option to purchase from Manitoba Conservation and Climate offices around the province.
