If you plan on purchasing provincial park vehicle permits or hunting & fishing licenses this season, you'll be able to do so online.
You can still buy permits and licenses in-store and over the phone.
Rob Cann works with Conservation and Climate and is in charge of the new e-licensing project.
He explains that Manitobans can set up a profile on the government website, select the desired permit or license, and check out.
Once you make a purchase, a digital copy will be available for download and a hard copy must be printed out to present to conservation officers upon request.
The new online system will slightly increase prices by $4.50.
“The base fees actually have not changed for any licenses this year, so we won’t see any price increases there. The $4.50 is an administration fee; we’ve contracted a third-party vendor who’s going to host the whole system for us. They have costs for hosting, maintaining and supporting the system. So those funds will be directed to that company to do all the work that’s necessary for the system.”

They hope to have the website and e-licensing system fully up and running by April.
